2025 Winter Fest Sponsorship Opportunities

Thank you for supporting this year’s Camp Winter Wonderland theme featuring themed ice sculptures by The Ice God, kids activities, Wine Walk, and much s’more!

Winter Fest is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for a frosty extravaganza in the Oakland Arts & Entertainment District packed with family fun, cozy vibes, and a whole lot of community cheer!

Picture this: kids laughing in the snow playing games, parents sipping wine during our famous Wine Walk, and everyone enjoying the Camp Winter Wonderland-themed ice sculptures and treats from the Bakers Market. Sounds magical, right?

This year, we’re inviting you to join the festivities as an official sponsor. It’s your chance to beat back the winter blues, connect with a festive crowd, and showcase your brand in a way that warms hearts (even in the chilly air!). With exclusive shoutouts, prime visibility, and a dash of winter magic, this partnership with the Garrett County Arts Council, Oakland Arts & Entertainment District, and Town of Oakland is the gift that keeps on giving.

Last year over 2000 community members and tourists enjoyed the annual event so let’s make this Winter Fest the most magical one yet—together!
