Lodging Tax Board schedules March 12 votes on 2026–27 signature-event grants
The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Joint Powers Board’s March 12 agenda calls for approval of signature-event funding for seven events, including Rendezvous and the Stage Stop dog sled race. The agenda does not list dollar amounts; applicants’ materials were posted separately.
The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Joint Powers Board (the county’s lodging-tax board) is scheduled to vote March 12 on whether to approve “signature event” sponsorship funding for a slate of 2026–27 events, according to its meeting agenda. The action items include Horseshoe Music Festival, Jackson Hole International Film Festival, Teton Skijoring, the Pedigree Stage Stop Dog Sled Race, Rendezvous Music Festival, Native Voices/Teton Powwow and “An Evening with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.” (Lodging Tax Board Meeting Agenda).
The agenda item is framed as an approval of funding rather than a discussion-only item, but the posted agenda does not state the specific grant amounts for each event. Instead, links in the agenda point to applicant presentations and/or proposals for some events, while other line items appear without attachments. (Lodging Tax Board Meeting Agenda).
Among the materials posted ahead of the meeting are a festival overview and growth strategy packet for the Jackson Hole International Film Festival and a sponsorship proposal presentation for Rendezvous Music Festival (presented by Jackson Hole Mountain Resort). (Jackson Hole International Film Festival Presentation Packet; Rendezvous Music Festival Sponsorship Proposal Presentation).
The board meets at 3 p.m. in the county commission chambers with Zoom access. Public comment is scheduled at the start of the meeting and before action-item votes, with a two-minute limit per speaker. (Lodging Tax Board Meeting Agenda).
