VENTURA — The 40th Annual California Strawberry Festival is seeking corporate sponsors. The festival is set for May 16 and 17 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
The family-friendly nonprofit festival draws more than 40,000 visitors from across Southern California, including attendees from Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Kern, Santa Barbara and Orange counties.
Festival attractions include more than 40 strawberry-themed food and beverage vendors, nearly 150 fine arts and crafts booths, live entertainment on three stages, carnival rides, a children’s Strawberryland and a build-your-own strawberry shortcake pavilion. Organizers estimate visitors consume 1.5 million locally grown strawberries during the two-day event.
Sponsors are included in marketing, public relations and social media campaigns leading up to the festival. All sponsors enjoy onsite space, and, depending on the level of sponsorship, can also receive custom branding exposure through the festival program, website, eblasts to the newsletter subscriber database, social media, onsite signage and naming rights to festival venues, attractions and events. All sponsors receive VIP credentials,admissions and parking.
Money raised through sponsors helps the festival fund regional charitable organizations and post-secondary education scholarships. Since its inception, more than $5 million has gone to these efforts.
