Why Get Involved
2012 Sponsorship Opportunities
The Naptown barBAYq & Music Festival is the marketing and promotional event of the spring, designed to put you and your business in front of 10-15,000 people over a 2 day period in a fun festival atmosphere at the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds, May 4th and 5th, 2012. The 2nd annual Naptown barBAYq promises to be bigger and better than last year’s successful event, with two music stages, 25 bands, a large “Kiddie Korral” for the little ones, and People’s Choice VIP tastings both Friday and Saturday.
• Plans are underway for a multi-media advertising and marketing campaign for the Festival, including WRNR FM 103.1 Radio, The Bay Weekly, The Capital, Broadstreet Media, Social media including Facebook and Twitter, and joint website cross-promotions with Parole Rotary, Anne Arundel Medical Center’s new Pediatric Emergency Inpatient Department and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County. (the two main charitable beneficiaries of the Naptown barBAYq 2012).
• New this year - 2 large video screens by the Valley stage available for running video commercials between bands both days, adding a new dimension to your promotion packages.
• The Naptown barBAYq is a great way to introduce and promote your business to new and potential customers and at the same time show your support of this charitable event.
• The exposure you will receive at this festival is promised to exceed your tax deductible contribution and you will be “Doing it for the Kids.”
• There will be live music performance from 25 regional and local bands a variety of food, arts and crafts and vendors in addition to the Kansas City Barbecue Society Sanctioned Contest.
• There is a $5 ticket for entry and free parking for this event each day.
This promises to be a huge annual event and you now have the opportunity to take advantage of this by being a part of it.
