Elite Event Funding Program
Events are a major tourism driver to Pinellas County, benefitting residents, local businesses, and event organizers. To continue promoting tourism and funding events, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners developed the Elite Event Funding Program. Visit St. Pete-Clearwater administers the program to attract and maintain large-scale events that drive visitation and market the County to audiences outside of Pinellas.
