Become A Festival Sponsor
Investing in the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Society helps to ensure that high quality folk music continues to be affordable and accessible in Lunenburg. Your investment provides you with outstanding recognition and brand exposure at the annual Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival – the longest-running folk festival in Nova Scotia and the festival that was named “Event of the Year” by the East Coast Music Association for the 2017 Festival and Community Presenter of the Year by Music Nova Scotia in 2013 and in 2018. Now in its 35th year, the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival is a much-loved event with a proven track record; as such, it is a solid event to sponsor. Since the Festival attracts thousands of people each year, the potential reach of sponsors’ names is broad. With different levels of sponsorship available, as well as the option to donate cash or in-kind, it is easy to become one of Folk Harbour’s valued sponsors!
