Applications open for RISING Local Business Program

Melbourne CBD businesses have an opportunity to benefit from Melbourne’s RISING Festival which celebrates music, food, art and culture from 7-18 June.

RISING aims to invigorate Melbourne’s winter and night-time economy with unique programming that highlights artists, businesses and creative industry.

The festival orbits Flinders Street Station and surrounding streets and carparks, transforming St Paul’s Cathedral, Federation Square, Flinders Lane and Birrarung Marr.

The RISING Local Business Program aims to minimise barriers for local traders to actively participate in the festival and drive visitation into Melbourne’s CBD and surrounding business throughout the festival period.

Retail, restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, entertainment venues, tourist attractions, cultural institutions, hotels and accommodation providers within the CBD are encouraged to apply to receive a RISING Local Business Program asset kit and ideas for theming their façade or shopfront throughout the festival period.

Successful applicants will be provided supported and profiled by RISING through promotion across their social media channels.

To apply for the program, businesses must:

  • Be located within the City of Melbourne
  • Have an ABN
  • Have shopfront window(s)/street frontage themed for RISING with supplied assets or lit up blue within RISING dates.

A competition for the program also rewards successful participants with the most creative display with tickets to RISING’S signature events.

Applications are open until midnight, Sunday 4 June. Competition entries close midnight Sunday 11 June.

Winning business will be notified on Mon 12 June.

More information and registration is available on the RISING Local Business Program page.
