Organisers of new and second-year events held between July and December 2018 can apply for the 2018 Incubator Event Fund.
The fund supports events held in rural and regional NSW.
Goulburn MP Pru Goward said the fund offered a one-off grant of up to $20,000 for new and existing smaller-scale events.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the event owners in our region who need extra support to help their event get off the ground or help it grow into something bigger,” she said.
“Whether it’s for marketing, public relations, venue hire or attendee research, this $20,000 grant will assist in attracting more overnight visitors in the hope they stay longer and spend more time exploring our wonderful region.
The Regional Flagship Events Program is managed and administered through Destination NSW.
Applications for round two of the 2018 Incubator Event Fund are open until Sunday, March 18.
