Become a Machias Wild Blueberry Festival Sponsor

The temperatures are climbing, the blueberries are ripening, and the region is buzzing with seasonal preparations. That can only mean one thing—soon it will be time for the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival!

What began nearly 50 years ago as a celebration of our region’s most beloved crop has evolved into a joyful event that welcomes over 15,000 visitors each year. It’s a moment when the Machias community shines—our businesses, nonprofits, churches, and volunteers all pull together to showcase the very best of Downeast Maine.

We invite you to be part of this celebration by becoming a financial sponsor of the 2025 Machias Wild Blueberry Festival.

Here are a few ways to support the festival and promote your business:

• Website Sponsorship – $150
  Your business will be featured for a full year on the scrolling banner at the top of our website, machiasblueberry.com. Visitors can click your ad to go directly to your website. Our site experiences its peak traffic from May to August.
• Porta-Potty Sponsorship – $250
  Get seen on festival weekend by sponsoring one of our 10 portable toilets. Your business name will be prominently displayed and will also be included on our website.
• Music Stage Sponsorship – $500
  Want maximum visibility? Sponsor one of our main musical events held throughout the weekend on the church green. Each of the four sponsors will have their business name featured on a banner at the front of the stage and listed on our website.

All sponsors are also listed in the printed program for the beloved Machias Wild Blueberry Musical, performed over four nights for hundreds of festivalgoers.

New this year, we’re pleased to accept electronic sponsorship payments, making it easier than ever to support the festival. Details are included on the enclosed form.

Your sponsorship supports festival infrastructure, promotion, and programming, and it helps us create the kind of joyful community experience that benefits everyone.

We’re grateful for your consideration and your support.
