We invite service-based businesses to partner with Festivals of Cedarburg as a festival sponsor. Home improvement, insurance, chiropractors, etc... Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and supporting our vibrant community through four large-scale events each year. Producing these events requires thousands of volunteer hours, the commitment of local businesses, and — most importantly — the generosity of sponsors. Sponsorship dollars directly offset the ever-increasing costs of logistics, safety, entertainment, and infrastructure that make these festivals possible. Our goal is to keep festival participation affordable for local artists, small businesses, and makers, while ensuring the 200,000+ annual visitors to our events experience a safe, enjoyable, and memorable celebration of Cedarburg’s charm. With the help of your valued contribution, we aim to provide more opportunities for community engagement, increased traffic to our business district, and grants and scholarships that directly benefit the Cedarburg community.

If you are available but would like to be flexible, this is for you! Staff will contact you to help out if needed. If you would like to be on call but none of the listed shift times work with your schedule, please email jessica@cedarburgfestivals.org.
