Our Festival relies heavily on sponsorship from businesses and private citizens throughout our community.

We're confident that the sponsorship programs we are proposing will encourage customer loyalty and demonstrate your relevance to consumers. The spectacular waterfront at Spencer Smith Park and the views of majestic Lake Ontario offer an amazing backdrop to the Festival, which can hold more than 50,000 people at any one time.
