The Woden Valley Community Festival can become a signature event on the
ACT event calendar. We believe numbers will be boosted up to 5000 people
this year. It is also anticipated that the health/wellbeing and sustainability
elements may continue for future years. Festivals such as these are also
important in building strong and cohesive communities and they acknowledge
our great local resources.
Please consider the variety of promotional benefits that you could obtain for your business or oganisation as a festival sponsor. Your financial support will serve to celebrate and affirm the unique Woden community while enhancing a healthy community, individual wellbeing and sustainable living.
We are currently looking for sponsors for the Youth Village, Wellbeing Village, Sustainability Village and for various activities. However there are a limited amount of high profile festival partnership sponsorship opportunities that are also still available. You may like to have a stall at the festival, place an insert into the festival showbag, place an advert around the program in the Chronicle or place an advert in the in the Woden Voice – our community newsletter that goes out to 19765 households and businesses.
