“Festivals and events make our community come alive,” said Tourism Services Coordinator Lindsey Duncan. “We are pleased to support events that enhance the quality of life in our County and attract visitors to the area each year.”
 
Applicants selected best met the program criteria, which included, but was not limited to attracting visitors to the County; retaining local spending; and enhancing the quality of place by organizing festivals and events within the community.
 
This is the seventh year that the County of Elgin has encouraged festivals and events by providing contributions to community organizations that take it upon themselves to organize these events.
 
Elgin County encourages all local festivals and events in the area and hopes to provide the Festival and Event Partnership Program again in 2017.
