Expressions of Interest for Major Community Events are now closed

Burnie City Council is continuing to seek applications to conduct a number of vibrant events across our City during the 2023 year!

From a flower festival in spring 🌻🌼 to a winter solstice celebration under the stars 🧊🌘⭐ if you have an event idea – together, we can bring it into reality!

Last year Burnie City Council contributed $15,000 to Van Diemen’s Band Inc., to help provide a variety of Lunchbox concerts over a two year period. Council also contributed $15,000 to support the re-emergence of Burnie 2023 Ten Days on the Island Festival.

• New Year’s Eve Community Event

• Spring Flower Festival

• A Family Christmas Parade

• A regular Friday Night bEATs Market

• A Community Celebration on the 26 January
