2025 Downtown Monroe Sponsorship Program

We invite local businesses and organizations to partner with us in sponsoring initiatives that will drive economic development in Downtown Monroe, helping to create a vibrant downtown community for all. The Partnership with a Purpose Level sponsorship enables us the ability to contribute to the Community Event Grant Program, refurbish downtown planters, holiday lights, make alleyway improvements, provide downtown marketing campaigns, way finding signs, murals and other design projects, resulting in the beautification of Downtown Monroe.

With our new award-winning Town Green, the First Friday Concert series is a community favorite. With exposure to over 15,000 people during the season, this sponsorship opportunity is not only a fun way to promote your business but a budget friendly way as well. The bands selected for these concerts are carefully considered for our community and have proven to draw large crowds out to a family-friendly, free event. The concerts will begin the first Friday of May and continue through the first Friday of September, excluding the month of July. Food trucks and local businesses are on sight for each concert.

Looking to sponsor a successful partnership for maximum growth? Look no further than Downtown Monroe. Festivals in Downtown Monroe attract an average of 30,000 and become the talk of the town. Leverage your marketing dollars and stand out in the crowd by joining forces for unbeatable business promotion alongside our Monroe Fall Fest on October 11, 2025.

Everyone loves a parade. The Monroe community shows up in thousands for the annual Christmas parade, line the streets and cheer on the beautiful entries as they march past. The parade will take place on December 4, 2025 and will be aired live to be enjoyed for years to come, and your business can be highlighted alongside this most festive event. Invest your budget dollars wisely with this choice for a sponsorship.

The Merry Monroe Holiday Sponsor package includes all things downtown for the holidays. Referred to as a Hallmark city, downtown Monroe shines bright during the season beginning November 6 and continues each Thursday evening until Christmas with many opportunities for your business to shine alongside us. Emphasis is placed on shopping the small, local boutiques and restaurants that make downtown Monroe so appealing. Carriage rides carry smiling couples, thousands of lights twinkle in children's eyes, you can smell the fragrances of the smores over the firepit while shopping our beautiful downtown. What a wonderful investment for your marketing dollars and you're helping to make Monroe smile.
