Sponsorship
Dear Friend of Downtown Lorain,
We have a great opportunity for you to support Lorain Winterfest beginning on November 26 through December 21, 2022 and throughout 2023! Over 6000 families see the beautiful lights, displays, fireworks, visit Santa House and see the Trees and Trains on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. After Winterfest, Lorain Growth continues to use your advertising throughout the year at the Black River Landing events and festivals. Other advertising in tourist magazines and on social media continue to provide access to over half a million homes across Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. Over 120,000 people visiting Black River Landing and festivals (International Festival, Rockin’ on the River shows and Brewfest) will see your advertising on banners through your support for Lorain Winterfest!!
This is an all-volunteer program; all the funds go directly to support equipment purchases and Holiday decorations for Downtown Lorain and Black River Landing. Enclosed is a list of ways you can assist Lorain Winterfest during the Thanksgiving weekend and during the Holiday season providing opportunities for families to visit Santa at his house and Trees and Trains throughout the holiday season.
We have many ways you can help! With each level of support is an opportunity to be a part of this family-friendly activity and to advertise your support for Lorain throughout the entire year. The following list provides the sponsorship levels and associated advertising opportunities. Please consider selecting one of these Sponsor levels.
Thank you for your support!!
