Strawberry Festival Sponsorship Opportunities

Benefits of Sponsorship:

  • The Strawberry Festival is back in 2024! We're seeking businesses and organization sponsors who want to help boost local commerce and bring smiles back to our community. By becoming a sponsor or renewing your sponsorship, there are many benefits for your business or organization.

    • First, our annual Strawberry Festival draws over 100,000 people to our communities during the third week of June. These visitors support local businesses, which drives traffic through your doors.
    • Secondly, many of those visitors will repeatedly return throughout the year, thus bringing repeat business to you.
    • Thirdly, your contributions are highly marketed in our promotional materials, including the official program (distributed through our community newspapers to over 65,000 homes and businesses). The program is also distributed to Strawberry Festival attendees. Major sponsors are also publicized to our radio, television, and digital audiences. You further demonstrate your active support of your communities to your local consumers through your contribution.

How Your Contributions Are Used:

The festival's organizer, Maryfest, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our expenses are covered by tax-deductible contributions from businesses and community members. The entirety of your generous contributions is directed toward the Strawberry Festival, making it possible to award over $20,000 in college scholarships to deserving area students.

Donated funds also contribute towards the building, transportation, and maintenance of our award-winning float which is showcased at over 15 parades each year in the Pacific Northwest region. Our annual Strawberry Festival is funded entirely by contributions to Maryfest. As a 100% volunteer organization, every dollar that is donated is put towards producing an amazing community event.

Sources Of Funding:

Every dollar needed to operate and produce the Marysville Strawberry Festival comes directly from local support through sponsorships, donations, operating revenue, and local tourism grants. We receive no federal funding. Your sponsorship provides the majority of our annual funds. No one in the Maryfest organization is compensated financially. We are a group of community members dedicated and driven to hosting a festival to promote community spirit and support area business success.

We would be honored to include you as a sponsor of the Marysville Strawberry Festival! It is only through the support of community members and businesses that we are able to continue our mission of goodwill and ambassadorship for Marysville and our local communities.

May we count on your support?
