Sponsorship Matters

Without sponsors, fForest Fest wouldn’t be able to book quality bands and produce this awesome event for the community. This is a crucial and needed part of bringing a festival of this size to the punk rock community and Grundy County, Illinois  Each sponsor is appreciated. 

In past years, fForest Fest welcomed 5,000 attendees. That’s an amazing statistic. In 2022, this was a brand-new festival, and in 2023 it was a very hot day – nearly 100 degrees, yet fForest Fest welcomed 5000 attendees each year.  2024 we had rain. It didn’t stop our attendees. Not only were attendees from Grundy County, but areas throughout Illinois and the Midwest.  The festival is due for a gorgeous day, and attendee projections for 2025 are higher.

There are multiple ways you can support this festival, while marketing your business at the same time. Pick a sponsorship level that works best for you! 

Your Business should become a SPONSOR too!
