Become a Festival Sponsor

Sponsoring the festival is a great way to obtain effective and unique exposure for your business or product. The unassuming ukulele is now in the midst of a renaissance and is drawing the attention of musicians, media and the public. The Ukulele community is a highly-organized grassroots movement: when they encounter an event, business, or product they like, the word quickly disseminates world-wide in blogs, chat rooms, Web sites, trade magazines, music periodicals, and numerous other ukulele festivals and events. For more information about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Michael Schenkelberg at 303-777-1003 x 205 or michael@swallowhillmusic.org.
