The New Year's Eve Event Sponsorship Program provides support to the primary New Year's Eve event to be held in the Launceston municipality. The event will deliver an inclusive experience, encouraging community participation, creativity, and will build community spirit, foster pride and a sense of place. As a major community event, it may also deliver tourism and economic returns to the Launceston community, building our profile and reputation as a great place to live, visit and invest. They will operate under multi-year strategic and marketing plans and epitomise best practice in event delivery.

The City of Launceston on a triennial basis will commit to three (3) years of continuous funding to the primary New Year's Eve event.

Online Expressions of Interest open on February 01, 2024 (close March 15, 2024) for event organisers with proven, successful events experience to coordinate this event.
