Support the Blackstone 250th: Become a Partner in History
From July 23–26, 2026, the Blackstone-Millville High School grounds will transform into a hub of community spirit, featuring a grand carnival, live music, a 5K race, and a world-class fireworks display.
We offer a variety of sponsorship levels ranging from $500 to $20,000+, with custom packages available to fit your goals. Looking to give a smaller amount? Individual donations are also gratefully accepted via UniPay or PayPal.
The benefits of Sponsoring
Your support directly funds the activities, music, and displays that keep this historic event free and accessible to the public.
- Unprecedented Visibility: Your brand will be front and center for thousands of attendees from across the region.
- Community Alignment: Show your customers that you are deeply invested in the local community.
- A Lasting Legacy: Unlike annual festivals, the 250th happens once. Your organization will be forever linked to this milestone in town archives.
Ways to Partner with Us
We have categorized our partnership opportunities into four primary groups to help you find the best fit for your organization.
Comprehensive Tiered Sponsorships
We offer structured sponsorship levels that provide high-visibility branding across all our major channels, including our official website, social media, on-site signage, and marketing materials. These tiers range from community-level support to premier "Liberty" partnerships.
In-Kind Professional Services & Trade
Your professional expertise is just as valuable as a financial contribution. We are actively seeking partners who can provide essential services—such as printing and signage, event equipment, or advertising—to help reduce town costs while showcasing your business’s unique capabilities to the community.
Targeted "Feature" & Program Sponsorships
Want your brand associated with a specific memory? You can “adopt” a high-traffic part of the celebration by sponsoring a main-stage band or musical act through our Live Entertainment program. You may also choose to provide the special prizes for our Art Contest or community competitions. Additionally, your business can support Community Comfort by sponsoring hydration stations, cooling tents, or festival food areas to keep attendees refreshed throughout the weekend.
Custom Visionary Partnerships
The committee is open to unique, custom sponsorship ideas. If you have a specific vision for how your business can support the town—whether through a specialized service or a unique branded experience—we want to work with you to build a package that highlights your commitment to the Blackstone community.
Flexible Sponsorship Tiers
Our tiers are designed to be flexible to accommodate your organization's specific level of commitment. All sponsors at the $2,500 level and above enjoy the Saturday Night VIP Experience, featuring overhead firework views, private amenities, and complimentary refreshments.

Full event itineraries and specific signage dimensions will be released to all confirmed partners as we approach the 2026 celebration. Please note that May 1, 2026, is the hard cutoff for inclusion on physical posters, banners, and the printed program; any sponsorship committed after this date is restricted to digital-only recognition. Additionally, all Vector logos and 15-second audio files must be submitted by the final deadline of May 10, 2026.
Don't miss your chance to be part of Blackstone’s official history. Our sponsor list is growing, and we have a seat saved for you. Secure your spot on our digital wall of honor and in the memories of our residents for years to come.
