2025 Event Season Sponsorships
In 2025, Downtown Duluth will celebrate 40 years as a strong voice on behalf of our downtown business district. Community and business support aids in moving our mission forward while also affording organizations yearlong and significant marketing recognition throughout the area. We are asking for your support in 2025 as an Event Season Sponsor.
Plans are already underway for our major events including Downtown Duluth’s Annual Dinner Meeting, Downtown Duluth Days (formerly Sidewalk Days), Movies in the Park, Power Up the Plaza, and our upcoming Holiday Season Campaign. We will continue to focus on bringing increased foot traffic to our downtown in 2025.
We believe the marketing of these events throughout the year brings significant recognition to your organization while highlighting its role as a prominent supporter of our Downtown Waterfront business district.
Affordable, cost-effective sponsorship levels detail the array of events your sponsorship dollars support.
Please let us know of your commitment by October 31, 2024, by simply filling out and returning the bottom portion of the sponsorship form with your choice of payment option and whether you prefer to be invoiced now or in 2025.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Melissa LaTour
Special Events Coordinator
