2025 GLOUCESTER DAFFODIL FESTIVAL SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Dear Gloucester Businesses,
While we hope you are enjoying the sunshine and warmth of Summer, plans for the 2025 Gloucester Daffodil Festival are already underway and sponsorship opportunities will begin September 1st, 2024.
The 2025 festival is scheduled for April 5th & 6th. The theme for 2025, “It’s All Sunshine & Daffodils at The Daffodil Festival” and will feature two great “Big Bands”. Mullins Sisters & Brasswind on the Main Stage at the Food Court!
For kids and adults, The Daffodil Village stage will welcome back "The Rhythm is Going To Get You" show from Miami with additional shows scheduled each day. Of course, this stage will still feature as a main event, The Amazing Mutt Show on Saturday, and the crowning of Little Miss Daffodil on Sunday.
We will begin accepting applications in October for the 2025 Daffodil Festival Queen, Little Miss Daffodil and Annual Scholarship. We appreciate all of our sponsors who continue to support the festival and welcome new sponsors. We could not do it without you!
In this packet you will find the 2025 Gloucester Daffodil Festival Sponsorship Packages. Sponsoring the Daffodil Festival is a great way to show your community spirit and put your business name in front of local residents, as well as, over 25,000 guest who visit the festival each year. These packages are a great advertising value for all that is included.
Secure your spot now, no payments are due until February 2025.
All of the sponsorship opportunities EXCEPT, Gold, Silver & Bronze are exclusive with only one main sponsor.

Festival Feedback!
WOW! We returned this year and brought the entire family with us this time! We loved the live music and the living history was such a great addition!
Gloucester resident here! My husband and I look forward to this event every year and make sure we tell our friends & family!
I just love being a vendor at this festival! Count me in for next year!
Thank you for having such fun activities for little ones to enjoy! The music, food, vendors, and rides are all a great combination.
Talk about a great crowd! I was a vendor at the last festival & sold out of product the very first day! Had to go home and restock X2 for Sunday!
