Venture Richmond Events
Sponsorship opportunities
Venture Richmond’s free community events are funded by generous contributions from companies, foundations and people like you. Your company, organization or individual donation is tax-deductible as permitted by law. Your gift supports our goal to energize downtown Richmond and unite the community through festivals and celebrations. These events directly benefit the local economy, encourage tourism and further strengthen the cultivation of the arts and entertainment in our city.
Corporate Sponsorships
Imagine having your company’s image in front of more than 40,000 families at Easter on Parade or more than 3,000 young professionals at each Friday Cheers event, more than 45,000 predominantly African Americans at The 2nd Street Festival, or in front over 95,000 people at the National Folk Festival. The large scale free events that are produced by Venture Richmond offer a variety of opportunities.
