2010 SPONSORSHIPS CLOSED

Sponsorships are closed for 2010. Please check back later for 2011.

Boise Rec Fest is a unique marketing opportunity. By sponsoring this festival, your business will become branded with Idaho’s premier recreation festival. Our sponsorship program is designed to ensure maximum exposure by limiting the number of sponsors - you’ll stand out, no matter what your level of participation.

Boise Rec Fest will be widely promoted and advertised throughout the Boise Valley and beyond. Estimated attendance is approximately 30,000 visitors over two days.

Boise Rec Fest is also seeking individual donors and community partners. We accept donations of cash, goods and services. Partners are not expected to provide financial contributions, but rather to help promote and support the festival. In return, Boise Rec Fest will promote your organization to the community and festival attendees.

Benefits of Sponsorship

• Exposure to an estimated 30,000+ recreationalists at the festival through banner placements and exhibit space
• Company name or logo placement in various pre-festival promotional materials
• Visibility through media coverage and pre-festival events
• Advertising opportunities, including the event program guide and the Boise Weekly Rec Guide
  
• Positive association with a landmark community event that supports local business and recreation
