This year’s grant recipients include the Virginia Chili, Blues & Brews Festival, Fall Foliage Art Show, Waynesboro Riverfest, Augusta County Railroad Museum, Waynesboro Heritage Museum, Russell Museum, and Virginia Institute of Blacksmithing.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to support projects in Waynesboro that draw visitors from outside the region through the BOOST Grant Program,” said Stephanie Duffy, Assistant Director for Economic Development & Tourism for the City of Waynesboro. “We look forward to partnering with local tourism businesses and organizations to help expand their marketing reach and draw more visitors to Waynesboro by showcasing some of the great attractions and events we have.”

City businesses and organizations were invited to apply for up to $3,000 to support the marketing of eligible activities such as events, festivals and initiatives intended to increase tourist traffic.
