Festival of W is a City of Wagga Wagga owned and managed event and this year has been supported by funding through the NSW Government.
NSW Government support
The Festival of W footprint is evolving this year, with additional road closures to increase the festival area and ensure a safer environment for festival attendees.
On-street activations on Morrow Street, Baylis Street and Burns Way, have been proudly funded by the NSW Government under the Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program.
The funding support helps to enliven our city's street-based event scene and aims to promote vibrant local communities through delivery of free, recurring street-based events, such as Festival of W.
The funding supports cultural industries and drives economic growth with more sustainable ongoing delivery of street-based events and enables councils, community groups and businesses to activate their local streets.
