The City of Port Coquitlam is looking for businesses and organizations to elevate their visibility and connect with the community through its Sponsorship Program. This program offers exclusive access to vibrant community events, festivals and programs, providing significant opportunities to enhance visibility and connect with local residents.
Signature events like May Days and Canada Day offer significant sponsorship opportunities, each attracting over 20,000 attendees annually. May Day, a highlight of the City’s annual celebrations, features a 500-participant kids’ race, a vibrant parade, and a lively party in the square, providing exceptional exposure for sponsors. May Day offers entertainment on two stages: a dedicated kids' stage in Leigh Square and a main stage in Terry Fox Hometown Square. Canada Day also features a dedicated main stage for its celebrations.
A variety of sponsorship options are available for other community events, including the Volunteer Recognition Awards, Block Party Program and Music in the Park. High-profile events such as Car Free Day, Winter in the City, and the Parade of Lights, offer further opportunities for strong visibility.
The City collaborates with sponsors to create customized packages tailored to their brand, goals, and budget. Sponsorship levels range from title sponsorships to tiered options, each with unique benefits. In-kind donations, such as advertising, audiovisual services, décor, door prizes, entertainment, food and beverages, photography, and printing, are also welcomed.
