2026 Sponsorship Packages

About the event

Winder is a city that knows how to bring people together—and our community events are at the heart of that connection. Each year, City of Winder events welcome an estimated 50,000 attendees through a series of large-scale celebrations that bring residents, visitors, and local businesses together across the city. The City’s 2026 event season will include returning favorites such as Celebrate America, Spooktacular, the Jug Tavern Festival, and the Christmas Parade, along with additional seasonal celebrations planned throughout the year. Event sponsorships offer a meaningful way to support these experiences while gaining visibility with residents and visitors. Businesses may choose to sponsor individual events or participate as a season-long partner, with flexible options designed to align with a variety of goals and budgets. Benefits may include on-site recognition, inclusion in marketing materials, and social media promotion, with seasonal sponsors receiving exposure across multiple events. To learn more, contact the City of Winder events team at winderevents@.
