Apply now for winter/spring ’25 event funding from Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board

JACKSON, Wyo. — The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board (JHTTB) funds community events that enhance Jackson’s community character and visitor experience. Applications are now open for events taking place between January 1 and June 8, 2025. The deadline for Winter/Spring 2025 event applications is June 30, 2024 at 5 pm.

Event funding from the JHTTB directly benefits the community by generating lodging revenue and additional economic spending while growing community resources. In fiscal year 2023, events funded by the JHTTB generated over $9.2 million in lodging revenue and over $1.8 million in spending on local dining, shopping, activities and more. Beyond the economic benefits, support from the JHTTB supports local organizations doing important work in Teton County, WY and provides residents with community-oriented celebrations throughout the year.

On April 11, 2024, the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board (JHTTB) approved $369,700 to be allocated among 38 local events taking place between September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2024. In this event funding cycle, the JHTTB is expected to allocate an additional $450,000 to events taking place between January 1, 2025 and June 8, 2025, totaling approximately $850,000 allocated to community events in fiscal year 2025.

“Funding community events is some of the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board’s most impactful work,” says Crista Valentino, Executive Director for the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board. “Not only do these events serve our residents and visitors, but we’re also able to track our investment in event funding and see that it goes directly back into the local economy through event attendee lodging stays, dining, shopping and more.”

The goal for JHTTB event funding is to support events that draw visitors to Jackson to generate overnight stays and also to invest in community culture and contribute to organizations doing important work in the valley. 

“Beyond the economic value of events, these celebrations and summits provide residents with amenities throughout the year,” Valentino continues. “These are great examples of how funds generated by travel and tourism give back to all ages and interests in our community.” 

Event applications for Spring 2025 events are now open.

Through the strategic allocation of Teton County’s lodging tax funds, JHTTB stewards Jackson Hole toward a sustainable destination, where leadership, marketing, management, and community engagement ensure the vitality of the natural and human ecosystems.
