A creative city, Frankston is an ideal location for audiences seeking unique and memorable experiences at any time of year.

The City’s accessibility from Melbourne and the surrounding south-eastern suburbs, coupled with its diverse cultural and natural assets make it an outstanding location for destination events.

The DEAP provides financial and in-kind support to organisations to deliver high quality festivals and events that provide remarkable visitor experiences, local engagement and build upon the City’s positioning as a Creative Destination.

Council invites applicants to specify the investment they seek to create, relocate or host their event in Frankston City, including cash and in-kind contributions.

If your event falls outside of the application dates, but you still wish to hold it in Frankston City, please email tourism@frankston.vic.gov.au

To stage your event without financial support from Council, please contact events@frankston.vic.gov.au with your enquiry.
