OXNARD — Sponsorship applications are being accepted for the 25th Annual Oxnard Salsa Festival. The festival attracts over 40,000 attendees who love all things salsa–dance, music and food. The event is July 28 and 29, 2018 at Plaza Park, (Fifth and “B” Streets) in downtown Oxnard.
The festival’s multicultural crowd enjoys two music and food-filled days that feature Latin bands that lure big crowds to the dance floor, salsa dance lessons for novices to experts and a Salsa Tasting Tent with dozens of samples to choose from. Other highlights include a salsa recipe challenge, vendor marketplace, a “Dancing With Our Community Stars” competition, foods from around the world and a kids’ play zone.
Presented by the Oxnard Downtowners, the event is free and draws festivalgoers from Santa Barbara to Orange County. Over the past 10 years, the festival has raised more than half a million dollars for the local community by supporting and partnering with more than 40 nonprofits.
A number of sponsor levels are available to meet budget and marketing goals. Sponsor logos appear on festival posters, fliers, ads and digital marketing.
