Being a Sponsor

Sponsorship of the Sahuarita Pecan Festival is the perfect way to reach the growing, prosperous market of young families and active adults in the Santa Cruz River Valley.

Your sponsorship will be part of our aggressive marketing campaign utilizing our media partners, KGUN9 and CW Tucson. 2019 marks a five-year relationship with KGUN9 and the CW Tucson as our full media partner. This partnership provided exceptional exposure throughout all Southern Arizona via a traditional spot schedule, a robust promotional schedule and feature stories about the festival during the seven-day forecast for the week preceding the event, live weather cut-ins the night before the festival.

Your sponsorship may include additional exposure which could include your business logo appear, as part of the spot promoting the Festival, throughout the duration of the television schedule.

The Sahuarita Pecan Festival is presented by Farmers Investment Co. / Green Valley Pecan Company, family-owned and operated by the Waldens since 1948. The first pecan trees were planted by FICO in 1965 and have since become an integral part of the local community. The Walden family—along with the many generations of employees—welcomes our community and partners to join the family fun this year.

In this package you will find last year’s program which contains more details about the festival. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Testimonials

Our family loves this festival! Family friendly, full of many great activities that are free of charge. We look forward to it every year!
CH – Attendee
Plenty of activities for the kids! They need more “artisan” booths and local talent.
Julian West- Attendee
We enjoyed ourselves and loved how organized it was. I was impressed they had pecan shells and wet the parking area. Also, it was great how organized the parking was. Lots of activities for the kids. However, it was long lines. We met some very nice people. It was a great day!
Dawn M. Rhodes- Attendee
This is the 10th year of the Sahuarita Pecan Festival, but the first time I have attended. It was so much fun and had a large variety of vendors. Definitely will attend next year!

”Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed the festival. This is the first time in all my years of attending events that I have ever run out of literature and business cards… looking forward to next year.”
