Community festival grants announced for 2025/26!
Camden’s community spirit is set to shine bright in 2025/26, thanks to the announcement of 49 grants, each offering up to £1,300 to local organisations for their community events.
Camden will again play host to an exciting array of festivals, street parties, and cultural celebrations that promise to bring together residents from all corners of the borough.
The Community Festival Grant supports festivals that highlight diversity, creativity, and community pride, including Refugee Week and Day of the Dead Celebrations, the Afro-Brazilian Dance Community Festival, and Our Beloved Elders (OBE), which aims to celebrate Camden's senior residents.
As Camden gears up for a year of celebrations, these grants reflect Camden Council's commitment to fostering community engagement and inclusivity. We're so proud to support the diverse interests and passions that make Camden such a unique place to live and visit.
Stay tuned for more details on these incredible events on Love Camden!
