The festival received the support through the state government’s Creative Victoria Music Works grant program.
Festival director Carly Flecknoe said organisers would use the money to boost the event’s marketing and public relations efforts.
“The backing and support of Creative Victoria through the Music Works grant not only provides financial support to the festival, but gives our volunteer committee confidence that the festival we’re creating fits perfectly in Victoria’s thriving music scene,” she said.
“The grant will allow us to initiate a range of creative and innovative marketing activities that aim to capture our target market and get music lovers to Halls Gap for the first weekend in February.”
Victorian Creative Industries Minister Martin Foley announced grants worth $550,000 for projects across the state.
“This latest round of grants will boost our music economy, create opportunities for those who make music and those who work behind the scenes, strengthening our reputation as the heart of live music in Australia,” Mr Foley said.
“With the The Music Works initiative, we are investing in our music industry at all levels.”
The Halls Gap festival is scheduled for Friday, February 2 to Sunday, February 4.
