SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
SPONSOR A BOOM BANNER!
Picture
This is the time of year when we normally kick off our preparations for Bemidji’s largest summer event, Water Carnival; and this year will be no different.  For the 2023 Water Carnival to happen, we need strong financial support so that we can provide the experience that everyone has come to love. We most certainly understand if you are unable to contribute at this time but should circumstances change please reach out to us.

Below you will find the form and information on how you can show your support. Also included are the Adopt-A-Banner forms for the fireworks display to help offset the cost of the show. Even if you can’t sponsor an event, please consider adopting or re-adopting your banner. Your business or organization’s name will be placed on the bottom of the banner.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
SPONSOR the fireworks and water carnival events!

Picture
 The Bemidji Jaycees Water   Carnival has many different   events each year and we are   looking for businesses and   organizations to sponsor each   event. We are excited to bring   back more of our events and   continue some of our long-   standing Water Carnival   traditions!

Below you will find the form and information on how you can show your support. Sponsoring a Water Carnival event is just one the many ways to help put on the best 4th of July celebration in Minnesota. Whether you sponsor a Red, White & Boom streetlight banner, the Fireworks, Kid Events, or even the parade, every dollar raised helps bring bigger and better attractions to the event.
