Visit The County’s Community Partnership Fund is designed to support local organizations and collectives in delivering events that attract visitors and encourage overnight stays in Prince Edward County during the tourism shoulder season. The program aims to extend the benefits of tourism beyond the peak summer months, supporting economic activity, community vibrancy, and local collaboration during the quieter months of the year.
We’re pleased to announce that $26,750 has been awarded to 15 local community events taking place from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. These events were chosen for their potential to draw visitors and encourage overnight stays, helping to extend tourism’s impact throughout the year.
