Become a Sponsor

Sponsoring the McIntosh 1890s Festival places your business in front of a large, engaged audience at one of North Central Florida’s most established and well-attended annual events.

With over 30,000 attendees in a single day, the festival draws a substantial and diverse crowd to historic McIntosh, Florida. Visitors include local residents, guests from surrounding counties, seasonal travelers, and day-trippers exploring the area. Many are adults with discretionary income who come specifically to shop, dine, and spend the day.

This is not a quick pass-through event. Guests stay for hours—walking, browsing, eating, and engaging. That extended time creates repeated, meaningful exposure for sponsors in an environment where people are relaxed, attentive, and open to discovering new businesses.

Unlike larger, overcrowded festivals where brands compete for attention, the McIntosh 1890s Festival offers uncluttered visibility in a setting where your business is seen, remembered, and associated with a positive experience.

For businesses looking to increase local awareness, strengthen community presence, and reach customers who are ready to spend, this is a proven opportunity.

The Diamond and Platinum sponsorship categories are limited to one business per industry, ensuring your brand receives exclusive visibility without direct competition.

We offer a variety of sponsorship levels designed to provide value for businesses of every size.

Sponsorship at the McIntosh 1890s Festival works because it combines high attendance, strong engagement, and extended visitor time on site.

Your brand is placed directly in front of over 30,000 attendees who are out, engaged, and actively spending—not scrolling past ads or skipping commercials.

The setting encourages interaction. Guests are walking, stopping, browsing, and talking. They are more likely to notice, remember, and respond to businesses they encounter during the event.

Just as important, your business becomes part of a long-standing community tradition that people look forward to each year. That association builds familiarity, trust, and positive brand recognition that lasts well beyond the festival weekend.
