In July 2020 Liverpool City Council announced a £200,000 fund to support creative businesses and individuals who have been hardest hit by Covid-19. Following hundreds of applications, almost 50 cultural organisations and freelance artists were awarded funding to help bring the city’s streets to life once again with its world-famous cultural offer.

From live music, theatrics, dance, light installations, murals and photography to exhibitions and street animation a whole host of stunning performances took place in outdoor spaces during the months of August and September.

Due to the huge success of round one, in June 2021 an additional £100,000 fund was announced by Liverpool City Council to support cultural organisations in delivering new outdoor festivals. Once again, a huge number of applications were received and 9 organisations were awarded with funding to help bring festival vibes back to the city!

More exciting festivals will be revealed over the coming months, so get social and join in the conversations to stay in the know.
