The fair celebrates the lost, rare and forgotten arts and trades and will be held at the Bendigo Racecourse on Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20, 2022.
The $20 million Regional Events Fund forms part of the $633 million Visitor Economy Recovery and Reform Plan that aims to boost the economy through events and tourism in regional Victoria.
Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan MP said the government wanted to back events like the Lost Trades Fair because they encourage visitors from across the country to experience the best of Bendigo and they support local jobs.
The 2020 fair brought in over 20,000 people to central Victoria, an increase of 27 per cent from the previous year, and more than 70 per cent of visitors were from outside of the Bendigo region.
The 2022 Lost Trades Fair will feature the work of more than 150 artisans.
