Spring Folly is Kernersville's largest and most comprehensive music festival. Held annually the first full weekend of May the festival attracts 20,000-25,000 people to downtown Kernersville for a weekend of wholesome family entertainment.

Spring Folly Provides Expanded Marketing Opportunities

Introduction: As Spring Folly grows there are many more opportunities for businesses to advertise their company. The festival typically draws in excess to 20,000 people to the heart of our community for a weekend of music, rides, shows and other activities.

Sponsor Recognition: The new sponsorship opportunities get your logo and company name out into the public through signage in the festival area, an ad in the newspaper and an ad in the festival publication.

Sponsor Thank You Party: New this year is the Thursday evening sponsor Midway party. Employees of our sponsors will be able to attend a private night of riding the carnival rides in the midway area of Harmon Park.

Available Sponsorship Opportunities: Many of these sponsorships only have one sponsor. If you are interested, please contact the chamber at 993-4521 or bruceboyer@kernersvillenc.com. Here are the available sponsorship opportunities, including several new opportunities:

Food Court Sponsor

There is an opportunity for very visible sponsor recognition in the main stage area. The food court vendors are our own civic clubs. This is a heavily populated area since the most prestigious musical entertainment groups play on main stage. There would be large sponsor signage in the food court area, and you would have a ½ page ad in the tabloid. Cost of this gold sponsorship is $2,000.

Arts & Craft Show Sponsor

The festival has an excellent arts & craft show, set up on West Mountain Street (between Main and Cherry Street) and the first part of North Main Street. Signage would give recognition to the sponsor of this area, and a half page ad in the tabloid. Cost of this silver sponsorship is $1,500.

Sponsor Private Midway Night

This year we are offering a free employee party for the children of our Spring Folly sponsors. Brinkley Entertainment is providing free rides on Thursday, May 1st, in Harmon Park. If we can find a $750 Bronze Plus sponsor, we can add food to the party. You would also have a quarter page ad in the tabloid One $750 Bronze Plus sponsor is needed, and will be recognized with signage at the food area.

Bronze Sponsors

Bronze sponsors pay for the entertainment featured at both Main Stage and the Harmon Park stage. They will be listed on a large banner displayed at the Main Stage and a second banner elsewhere in the Spring Folly area. We also list the sponsors in an newspaper ad plus the Spring Folly tabloid, and provide a quarter page ad in the tabloid. Cost of a Bronze sponsor is $500.
