2026 Partnership Opportunities
We are seeking partners to keep this cherished community event alive and thriving despite the rising costs of producing a safe, high-quality festival of this scale.
Unlike many major events, Grand Old Day remains free to the public—a true gift to our community that also supports hundreds of local businesses, artists, and organizations as well as promotes our community as safe and vibrant. But this commitment comes at a cost.
Today, we invite you to pledge your 2026 sponsorship or charitable gift and help us reach our $250,000 break-even fundraising goal by December 31st.
