SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The City of Federal Way Parks Department works hard to bring our community meaningful events that will leave families with memories to last for years to come. Through Event Sponsorship, your business or organization will enjoy a set of perks which include brand awareness to audiences you may not typically reach, exposure through event advertising, and social media marketing. You will have the potential to connect with clients in a whole different way. We look forward to your partnership and if financial support proves to be difficult, please reach out to see if we can find a meaningful avenue to have your engagement. See below for a summary of each of our events and what your sponsorship can help provide!
