Become a 2013 sponsor!
Sponsoring the Gaithersburg Book Festival is a highly visible way to show that you support the community and value the arts, while gaining visibility with our attendees, who are among the region’s best-read and most well-educated individuals.
In just its third year, the 2012 Festival attracted approximately 17,000 attendees. And as we enter our fourth year, we expect even larger crowds as the Festival grows in prominence in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and beyond.
Because of the sheer scope of the Festival, the City of Gaithersburg is able to fund only a modest portion of the event’s expenses. We rely on the generosity of corporate partners, foundations and individual donors to help us deliver the world-class event that our attendees have come to expect.
We offer sponsorships to fit a variety of budgets, or we can tailor a sponsorship plan to fit your needs.
