39th Annual California Strawberry Festival Seeks Sponsors

The California Strawberry Festival is seeking corporate sponsors for its 39th annual event, scheduled for May 17-18 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.

The family-friendly festival drew more than 40,000 visitors from across Southern California in 2024, including attendees from Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Kern, Santa Barbara and Orange counties.

Festival attractions include more than 40 strawberry-themed food and beverage vendors, nearly 150 fine arts and crafts booths, live entertainment on three stages, carnival rides, a children's Strawberryland and a build-your-own strawberry shortcake tent. Organizers estimate visitors consume 1.5 million locally grown strawberries during the two-day event.

Sponsors are included in marketing, public relations and social media campaigns leading up to the festival. All sponsors enjoy onsite space, and, depending on the level of sponsorship, can also receive branding exposure through the festival program, website, custom eblasts to the subscriber database, onsite signage and naming rights to festival venues, attractions and events. All sponsors receive VIP credentials, admissions and parking.

Money raised through sponsors helps the nonprofit festival fund regional charitable organizations and post-secondary education scholarships. Since its inception, more than $5 million has gone to these efforts.
