Gladiolus Music Festival

Two stages. Three days. Four cities' worth of audience.

WHY SPONSOR GLADIOLUS

Gladiolus is more than a festival — it's a three-day community gathering rooted in world music, nature, and human connection. Set at Paradise Lake in the heart of New Jersey's Pine Barrens, within easy reach of New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the rest of New Jersey, our event draws a culturally diverse, multi-generational audience that comes not just to watch, but to stay — camping on-site for the full weekend.

That means your brand isn't a banner people walk past. It's part of an experience people live inside for 72 hours.

In our first year, we welcomed over 600 attendees. We're growing — and we're looking for partners who want to grow with us.

WHO COMES TO GLADIOLUS

  • Families with children of all ages — this is a genuinely family-friendly event with dedicated programming for kids throughout the weekend

  • Culture-forward adults from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond — curious, engaged, and community-minded

  • Campers who stay — nearly all of our audience arrives Friday and stays through Sunday, giving sponsors far more sustained exposure than a single-day event

  • A multicultural crowd that reflects the world music on our stages — over 65% from the NY/NJ metro area, with attendees traveling from across the US and Canada

WHAT'S ON

Three days of world music, workshops, DJ programming, and shared outdoor living at Paradise Lake, Hammonton, NJ. Two main outdoor stages — the Lake Stage and the Woodland Stage — plus The Loft, a DJ camp, and a full slate of workshops and activities for adults and kids throughout the weekend. The festival runs Friday through Sunday with on-site camping, a vendor row, and a kids' zone.

WHAT WE OFFER PARTNERS

We design sponsorships around what works for your brand — not a one-size-fits-all tier sheet. Depending on your goals and budget, a partnership with us can include any combination of:

  • Brand visibility — logo placement on stages, signage, tickets, wristbands, the festival entrance, and our website

  • On-site activation — dedicated booth or demonstration space to engage directly with attendees

  • Digital presence — inclusion in pre- and post-event email campaigns, social media posts, and our website year-round

  • Sampling & distribution rights — put your product directly in the hands of our audience

  • Category exclusivity — be the only brand in your category at the festival

  • Tickets & hospitality — weekend passes and VIP access for your team

  • Co-branded content — recap photos, video highlights, and social content that lives beyond the event

  • In-kind partnership — product or service contributions are welcome and valued; we're happy to structure creative trades that work for both sides

Whether you're a local business looking to build community presence, a regional brand seeking multicultural reach, or a larger company wanting to align with independent music and culture, there's a way to partner that makes sense for you.

BECOME A PARTNER

We keep our sponsor roster intentionally small so every partner gets real visibility — not a logo lost in a crowd. If you're interested in exploring what a partnership could look like for your brand, we'd love to hear from you.
