Let’s Work Together!
Every year, Grand Haven Michigan holds a 10 day celebration to honor the men and women of The United States Coast Guard. We have over 35 events over the entire 10 days, most of these events are free to the public, and made possible because of our generous sponsors. Their financial commitments enable us to enhance western Michigan by promoting, encouraging, and creating opportunities in our communities.
Sponsorship at The Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival provides a unique branding platform to engage with thousands of visitors that routinely attend this event.
This nationally recognized event has grown tremendously throughout the years, and we are looking to grow even more this year! Along with the 350,000 people set to visit this year, we always have the highest ranking officials from the Coast Guard in attendance. We are a 501 C(3) so your donation is tax-deductible! Sponsorship opportunities are available for a wide range of programs and exhibitions, and are customized to meet a potential sponsor’s timing and budget. Sponsors receive recognition at The Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival and other benefits according to their selected sponsorship level.
