Sponsoring the Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival

The Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival is a celebration of our city's diversity and provides a meaningful investment opportunity. You can substantially contribute by being a sponsor. Our sponsor packages offer maximum exposure and provide many benefits for your business. Vendor opportunities for restaurants and merchants are also available.

There are many ways for you to participate as a sponsor. Among these are opportunities to name a stage or special event, such as:

• The Friday night opening concert
• The Thursday festival warm-up concert
• The VIP Tent
• The BeanTown Garden hospitality tent

All proceeds from the Saturday Berklee BeanTown Festival event will benefit the Berklee City Music program. Berklee City Music helps urban students get a jump-start on their college education by providing an experience that incorporates the excitement and challenges of college during their middle and high school years, while broadening their musical talents.

Last year, 9 students from the Boston area received full four-year tuition scholarships to attend Berklee College of Music. As talented performers and scholars, our scholarship students were featured performers throughout the year including Boston Mayor Menino's City Hall Plaza Concert Series/Spotlight on Youth, the Boston Music Awards, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy inaugural parks family festival concert, and Governor Deval Patrick's State House Connecting with Community series and December Holiday Ball.

Profiles of the students may be seen at our new Berklee City Music Network interactive educational website at berkleecitymusicnetwork.org.
