TOURISM EVENTS & FESTIVALS

Festivals locals love and visitors travel for.

I plan and manage festivals and events across North East Victoria and the High Country, from the first idea to pack-down. Events that bring people to town, support local businesses, and are built to come back bigger next year.

How I can help

Event design and planning

Funding and income streams

A team that lasts

Concept, program, site plan and run sheets, all built around clear goals you agree on from the start.

Grants, sponsorship, stallholders and ticketing, so your event is financially sustainable.

Hybrid committees of professionals and volunteers that share the load and keep people coming back.

Permits, risk and compliance

An experience people remember

Greener events

Council liaison, permits, risk management and supplier contracts, sorted early so the day runs smoothly.

Thinking about every sense, from signage and colours to decorations and flow, so visitors leave talking about it.

Small, achievable sustainability steps each year that add up over time.

Events I'm proud of

Festivals and events across the North East that brought visitors to town and gave locals something to celebrate.

The team at Activate Community Consulting are professional, collaborative, detail oriented, passionate, creative and fun. It's been such a pleasure to work with Saskia and the entire team for the Benalla Street Art Festival 2026 and their passion for community building and engagement was inspirational. Thank you!
