The Cook Labor Government is a proud sponsor of the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival through Tourism Western Australia’s Regional Events Scheme (RES), funded by Royalties for Regions.

 

RES was established to support event holders across the State with the development of events to drive tourism to regional Western Australia. The scheme plays an important role in creating a timely reason for visitors to travel to the State’s five tourism regions, activating pockets of Western Australia and creating vibrancy, while showcasing the host region’s unique and diverse attractions.

 

A total of 63 regional events across Western Australia have been awarded funding through the 2025-26 RES, and includes a $150,000 funding pool for the Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme, which exclusively allocates funding to events delivering Aboriginal activities and experiences.

 

The Western Australian Government is proud to sponsor all these regional events, which help bring vibrancy to local communities and drive visitor spend, injecting millions into regional economies.

 

Tourism is a key part of our plan to diversify the economy, create jobs and develop business opportunities, especially in regional Western Australia. Events play an important role in this plan and also contribute to the Government’s vision for Perth and Western Australia to be the fastest growing events destination in the South East Asia region.

 

The Western Australian Government sponsors a range of sporting, cultural, arts and culinary events across the state, to attract visitors and encourage them to stay longer, disperse further and spend more while they are here.

 

We hope everyone enjoys the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival and takes the time to explore the South West region.​
