Concert presenters invited to apply for 2025 Live Music Grant

The City of Mississauga is calling all diverse concert presenters to apply for funding to bring vibrant, live music events to the city in 2025. Whether local or from outside the city, presenters are encouraged to submit their applications – keeping in mind that all concerts and live music must take place in Mississauga in 2025.

This grant provides funding to offset eligible expenses associated with hosting live music events and is open to for-profit applicants, including artists, venue operators, promoters, bars, restaurants and other potential music event hosts. For first-time applicants or those who haven’t applied for City funding in the last two years, attending an information webinar is a mandatory part of the application process.

The Live Music Grant program is part of the City’s Music Strategy, which aims to increase the presence of live music events in Mississauga, while helping create new spaces for live music performances.
