Sponsor the Central Valley Lebanese Festival
Put your brand in front of 10,000+ Central Valley families over a single warm September weekend — and become part of an 18-year Stockton tradition that neighbors look forward to all year.
📅 September 11–13, 2026 · Stockton, CA • Sponsor deadline August 1, 2026
The most-loved weekend in the Central Valley, with your name on it
Sponsorship is more than a logo placement. It's three days of real face time with families from Stockton, Modesto, Lodi, Tracy, Manteca, and the greater Sacramento area.
Local brand visibility
Your logo lives on event signage, the printed program, and our social channels — seen by the exact Central Valley households you want as customers, all in one place.
Community goodwill
Stand alongside a beloved Lebanese-American tradition. Sponsoring tells Stockton you invest in the neighbors who keep this 18-year celebration alive.
A captive weekend audience
Guests stay for hours, return across all three days, and come ready to discover. There's no scrolling past your brand here — they're standing right in front of it.
