Subsidy Open for 2026 Tasting Australia
Applications are now open for the Associated Events Program of the 2026 Tasting Australia festival, running 8–17 May across Adelaide, regional SA and right here in the City of Charles Sturt.
Are you a food or drink business, venue, club, or passionate foodie with a great event idea?
This is your chance to showcase your culture, community, and creations - through a dinner, tasting, tour, talk, cooking demo, workshop, or something totally unique.
To support anyone hosting an event in the City of Charles Sturt, we offer the following benefits:
- An automatic $250 registration fee subsidy per event when you register via Tasting Australia’s Eventotron platform (free for not-for-profits)
- Marketing support, including an event calendar listing, social media promotion, and featuring on our ‘Tasting Australia in Charles Sturt’ webpage. (Note: this marketing support is designed to complement - not replace - your own marketing and promotion of your event.)
Local food and beverage businesses may also be eligible for a Shop Local Customer Experience Grant of up to $2,000 to help bring their ideas to life.
Applications for the Associated Events Program close Tuesday 14 October 2025, so now is the time to get involved.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of South Australia’s premier food and drink celebration!
