The Barossa Council has launched a new Event Sponsorship Program to support events that bring people together, enhance visitor experiences and contribute to the vibrancy of Barossa.

Whether you're planning a new event or looking to grow an existing one, funding is available across a range of event types and scales; from community celebrations through to events with regional, national and international appeal.

The program aims to strengthen Barossa's year-round events calendar while supporting local businesses, community connection and visitation.

In 2026–27, we will launch a dedicated Events Grants Program to encourage events that attract visitors, increase overnight stays, and boost spending in the Barossa region.
