The costs of running an event like this are many. In addition to the bands and entertainment we have to get insurance and licenses, rent portable restrooms, provide sound and services, print tickets and other materials, and advertise the event. We have worked now for seven years to minimize costs. We work to partner with television and radio to get in-kind services for sponsorship. We run a tight ship but is still costs money to put on an even like this.
Sponsorship is available at several levels:
Festival Sponsor: $5,000. One
sponsorship available. Festival name will include sponsor (e.g. “The Acme Crossroads
Blues Festival at Lyran Park” or perhaps “Crossroads Blues Festival at Lyran
Park brought to you by the Acme Company.” Benefits include logo integrated into
festival logo for all uses including the front of the tee shirt, recognition on
banner on stage, recognition in final poster, newsletter and other printed materials plus 100
free tickets.

also frequently noted on stage after each act.
Any level of sponsorship
can help to make this dream a reality.
In-kind sponsors for services and such are also desired. We ask that your business consider becoming a
sponsor for the 2016 Crossroads Blues Festival at Lyran Park and thank you for
your time and consideration!
