With more than $1.3 million of spending generated on-site, $3 million generated off-site and another $800,000 in tourist dollars flowing into the rest of Alberta as a result of the fabulous four-day event we call folk fest, the words "positive economic impact" seem appropriate.

Corporate Support
Here's one way you can tell that this is no ordinary festival: there's a waiting list to become one of the 1350 volunteers, many of whom actually take vacation days so as to earn a little more island time.
The good news for you is that, as a sponsor, you can leap to the head of the queue. We're looking for partners who recognize that once Stampede is over, the Calgary Folk Music Festival is the feel-good event of the summer. Without necessarily rocking, it rocks.
There are plenty of ways to display your corporate message: Lots of opportunities for banners and signage. Two large-screen videos provide close-up views of the performers, and can convey other messages. Advertisements in the event's program draw a lot of eyes; what with all of the action going on at the side stages, the booklet is never far from hand. We can also accommodate on-site promotions or other corporate outreach activities.
Bottom Line: One would be hard-pressed to find any annual event that holds such a reservoir of good will. Here's a golden opportunity for your company to stand squarely behind it.
