2026 Sponsor Opportunities
Sponsorships are officially OPEN for the St. Patrick’s Day Festival, and we are excited to invite our local businesses and community partners to be part of one of Emerald Isle’s favorite traditions.
This festival simply would not happen without the support of our sponsors. Your involvement helps bring the music, the fun, the festivities, and the community spirit together year after year. We truly could not do it without you.
We are especially excited to share a NEW perk this year for our Pot o’ Gold sponsors. In addition to on site and event recognition, Pot o’ Gold sponsors will now receive a custom video highlight of their business, produced by Set Sail Marketing, that will be shared online and promoted across our digital channels. It is a great way to showcase your brand and extend your visibility beyond festival day.
Sponsorships will be open through February 1 to allow time for digital marketing, printed materials, flyers, and t-shirt design. This ensures maximum exposure for participating businesses.
If you have been looking for a meaningful way to support the community, connect with thousands of attendees, and align your business with a long-standing Emerald Isle tradition, this is it.
