Sponsorship Opportunities

Invest in community. Gain real exposure.

Partnership tastes good here

The Newberry Blues & BBQ Festival & Car Show brings together sanctioned competition barbecue, live blues, a classic car show, a vendor market, and 10K + people for a day of food, fun, and community.

Sponsorship is what keeps admission free for families. It also puts your business in front of a crowd that came to spend a whole day here — not to drive past a billboard.

Every level includes vendor space.
