Another $40,000 is to be donated to support grassroots initiatives, community groups, and local causes and charities within Berrigan Shire thanks to the annual festival.
This continues the festival’s commitment to giving back to the region it calls home each November.
Grants are available for a range of community-driven projects that support wellbeing, environment, art, culture, community and social initiatives within the local area.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the Berrigan Shire community for welcoming us year after year,” Strawberry Fields general manager Vicky Keeler said.
“This grant program is our way of saying thank you and ensuring that Strawberry Fields creates long-term benefits for the region.”
Grant recipients last year included Tocumwal Little Explorers, Berrigan Community Garden, NSW SES Tocumwal and Cobram Unit, Dutch Thunder Wildlife Rescue, The Barooga Public School Parents and Citizens Association, Finley Pony Club, The Barooga Botanical Gardens Committee, Tocumwal Primary School, Tocumwal Martial Arts, and Little Wings.
The festival is renowned for its eclectic mix of live performances, DJs, art and immersive experiences.
After a sell-out 15 year anniversary in 2024, this year Strawberry Fields Festival returns from November 21-23.
