A one one-time financial assistance scheme of €500,000 has been launched aimed at supporting local band clubs and related voluntary organisations in the organisation of the Maltese Festa during 2022.

Minister for the National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government Owen Bonnici announced that the scheme is open to band clubs, voluntary fireworks factories, and Maltese feast decoration associations which have actively participated or will actively participate in a Maltese festa in this current year.

Band clubs, voluntary fireworks factories, and Maltese feast decoration associations can receive a total of €6000 per cluster between them (€2000 per strand). If an entity has a dual or triple function, then it is entitled to €4000 or €6000, respectively.

Official guidelines and applications will be available online from Friday 27th May 2022.

For more information, kindly contact Arts Council Malta on 23347230 on weekdays between 09:00 and 16:00 or send an email to fundinfo@artscouncil.mt or visit artscouncil.mt.
