From Sand to Symphony

Sponsorships That Stand Out


Each year, the Neptune Festival brings our coastal community together with more than 40 events that celebrate art, music, food, sports, and seaside culture. Sponsorship is more than visibility — it’s a chance to align your brand with one of the region’s most cherished traditions while creating meaningful experiences for your clients, employees, and the community. Join us in helping to celebrate the beach life!

Why Sponsor?


  • Align your brand with a recognized organization that generates a $26.1M economic impact annually through a diverse series of events.
  • Gain exposure to hundreds of thousands of attendees and 1.6M+ digital impressions.
  • Benefit from unmatched brand visibility across multiple events and media platforms.
  • Reach targeted demographics through sponsorships aligned with your ideal audience — from sports to culinary to the arts.
  • Create tailored activations designed to meet your specific goals — from hospitality to client engagement to media visibility.

An Engaged, Ready-to-Spend Audience

Reaching diverse markets through signature events including:


  • Athletic & sporting audiences
  • Arts & culture enthusiasts
  • Families with children
  • Active seniors
  • Multi-event exposure + customized targeting for your ideal demographic

Customizable Packages
