Performer Sponsorship

Sponsorship offers businesses high-visibility branding at one of the primary performance stages of the Lawrence Busker Festival. Sponsors receive recognition on festival schedules, signage displayed prominently at the sponsored stage, and acknowledgments by emcees during shows. This sponsorship directly supports the artists and helps bring world-class street performers to downtown Lawrence, while giving your brand meaningful exposure to thousands of festival-goers throughout the weekend.
