The Downtown Event Grant was established to better connect our community with Downtown Hagerstown, to help energize our local economy, build meaningful partnerships, and elevate community stakeholders. Grant applicants must demonstrate a well thought out event experience that considers safety, anticipated attendance, marketing considerations, likelihood of the event continuing, and inclusion.
Applications must be submitted 60 days or more before the event is slated to occur. If approved, applicants will be notified and will enter into a grant agreement with the City. Funds will be disbursed on a reimbursement basis ONLY with proof of payment.
This application should be submitted along with the City of Hagerstown Special Events Application, as this grant application will not be considered without it. If the special event application has already been submitted, this application can be emailed to [email protected].
