2023 Event Sponsorship Opportunities Packet 

Our sponsors are amazing. Their sponsorships allow us to cover the costs of our large free community events and allow us to make these events a success and memorable for the whole community.

Our events wouldn’t be possible without the help of awesome volunteers like you. We appreciate all the extra help we can get, whether it’s assistance during the 5:30am vendor arrival/check-in or helping at the Skypoint info booth. All volunteers are provided with food and beverage voucher, bottled water, and any items needed to perform position. email info@downtownbillings.com if you are interested in helping. 
  We know!!! We’re bummed too but BUT dogs, cats, and other small animals are not allowed at the Strawberry Festival or any other large downtown public event. The city ordinance is for the safety of all including your dogs! AND while we don’t make the rules, we totally understand the city’s ordinance. Events like Strawberry Fest are loud and crowded and can be stressful  for a dog. Not to mention the heat of the hot 🥵 pavement being harmful.
