Donors & Sponsors

We would like to invite you to become a supporter of the 2011 Petaluma Music Festival, an annual event benefiting the music education programs of all Petaluma area public elementary and secondary schools―it’s for our kids!

The Petaluma Music Festival successfully donated over $13,000 to all Petaluma area public school music programs in 2010. Thanks to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, attendees, and headline music artists such as Trombone Shorty, ALO, and Poor Man’s Whiskey, we have established a world-class music festival in Petaluma AND we’re keeping music in our schools!

The 4th Annual Petaluma Music Festival will take place on Saturday, August 6th, 2011 at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma and will feature:

The following music artists: The Devil Makes Three, The Mother Hips, Cornmeal, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, SambaDá, Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers, Big Light, Red Meat, Hillside Fire, Stompy Jones, Craig Horton, The Peter Welker Sextet featuring Jeff Oster, Smokehouse Gamblers, and more
The fine beers of the Lagunitas Brewing Company
An appetizing Wine Country food and wine tasting pavilion featuring locally produced award-winning wines, and locally grown and produced cheese, bread, olive oil, organic farm produce, and more
A variety of specialty food, craft and local business vendors
A shaded seating section for VIP festival sponsors along with premium parking, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer
A fantastic silent auction and celebrity autographed guitar raffle

The Petaluma Music Festival is faced with many up-front expenses necessary to produce the festival in August. Your support will help us secure the music artists and allow us to mount another first-rate festival. Your business will receive significant goodwill advertising, publicity, branding opportunities, and VIP hospitality (please see sponsorship opportunity levels). The Petaluma Music Festival is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your donation is fully tax-deductible.

Funding for the arts in California is problematic, and there is never enough for music in our schools. With your donation, you will ensure that our children will continue to enjoy the positive influence of music in their lives—you are making a difference!
