Sponsoring the 2017 Blueberry Festival

Sponsoring the 2017 Blueberry Festival With an average of 8,000-10,000 people attending the annual Festival, sponsorship is an excellent opportunity to promote your business in Imlay City and in Lapeer, Macomb, Sanilac, St. Clair and Oakland counties while encouraging the economic growth of our community.

2017 marks the 37th year of the Blueberry Festival and this year the event will be bigger and better than ever. The Imlay City Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to offer the community free, quality, family entertainment while promoting our region, businesses and generous sponsors.

The Blueberry Committee and the Imlay City Area Chamber of Commerce greatly appreciate the business community’s past support of the Festival. Each year we expand our media plan and continue to improve the promotional benefits of sponsorship. We look forward to working with you and your business.
