The Live Music Grant Program provides funding to offset the eligible expenses associated with the presentation of safe and inclusive live music events to Mississauga residents and visitors. The Live Music Grant Program results from the City of Mississauga’s Music Strategy and is designed to help grow Mississauga’s music economy by animating our venues more frequently, generating revenue for musicians and venues, and creating new spaces for live music.
New Concert Presenters may apply for up to $2,000 towards eligible concert expenses.
Established Concert Presenters may apply for up to 50% of the concert’s total operating budget or $5,000, whichever is less.
Eligible expenses for the Live Music Grant includes:
• Artist/Performance Fees
• Facility/Venue Rentals (excludes applications from venues, bars and restaurants)
• Marketing & Promotion Expenses
• A/V technicians/staffing
• A/V equipment rentals
Please review the 2026 Program Guidelines for more information.
