2023 Sponsorship Info
A little info…
Salute to America offers several levels of limited sponsorships and exclusive sponsorships for various festival activities and themed areas. Your organization can be extensively promoted in our statewide media campaign through our partnerships with network television, radio, and newspaper and through our partnership with the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Your return on investment is easily measurable in terms of media exposure and positive publicity at a well-established event. Perhaps, even more important, is the affinity and loyalty your organization will inspire by associating with this beloved Capitol event.
Salute’s community partners include the Jefferson City Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, the City of Jefferson, Cole County, and the State of Missouri which work together with private businesses to attract visitors with a well-organized, multi-faceted event.
We offer multiple music and talent stages, a variety of vendors and attractions, a diverse assortment of food and beverage options, and creatively themed areas in our historic downtown and State Capitol complex. In addition, Salute hosts a patriotic opening ceremony, parade, a variety of contests, and live music on the Capitol Mainstage and beer garden stage. It is all capped off by a stunning fireworks display over the Missouri River.
Capitol City Salute to America Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community agency charged with coordinating the events and activities associated with the 4th of July celebration for the state’s capitol. Salute to America is the only nonprofit in Jefferson City where your sponsorship/donation dollars go to the whole community. The Foundation’s Board of Directors are seeking community-minded businesses and organizations that appreciate an opportunity to brand with a festival that attracts attendees from all over Missouri and surrounding states.
