OUR STORY: The Mum Festival has been an epic fall festival in Bristol’s history. Once known as the Mum City, Bristol was famous for this colorful flower, and through the years proud Fall festivities were put on by residents for all in the region to enjoy! The Festival is Sponsored by the City of Bristol and Directed by the Greater Bristol Exchange Club. One of the premiere festivals in New England!
This is where you come in! In order to do the Festival justice, we are approaching you to be one of the many great and necessary sponsors to pull off the considerable size and scope of this effort. With you on board, we can create a memorable event for thousands of Mum Festival goers, encouraging thousands to experience the many layers of festival offerings over a 3-day action packed weekend. In a sponsorship role, this great event will provide your business or organization exposure to thousands of people, in addition to tens of thousands of impressions through our advertising and event efforts leading up to the big weekend. We especially need your support this year due to a 30% cut by the City Board of Finance as a result of the budget crisis the last few years. So please consider supporting us this year, as it will ensure that we are able to continue this wonderful tradition with the great entertainment you have come to expect.
All sponsorships will be tax deductible via 501(c) 3 non profit event partner, The Bristol Exchange Club. If you are interested in sponsoring or would like more info please contact: Jason Fields:
