Partner with Downtown Iron Mountain: Sponsorship Opportunities for 2026

The Iron Mountain Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is excited to offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities for businesses and organizations looking to make a meaningful impact in our community. Your support helps fund everything from streetscape improvements and downtown beautification efforts to revitalization projects through our Building Improvements Grants program (BIG).

This year, there are several standout opportunities for sponsors:

  • Oktoberfest Signature Sponsorship – For the first time in many years, the Signature Sponsorship is available. This is a premier opportunity to take center stage at one of our most anticipated annual events and gain top-tier recognition.
  • Summer Roll Out Festival – Our brand-new festival is packed with family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and community engagement. Sponsoring this event is a great way to showcase your business to a wide audience and be part of Downtown Iron Mountain’s newest celebration.
  • Out To Lunch Season Sponsorship – Support free live music across 10 weeks from June through August. This sponsorship directly brings live entertainment to our community while connecting your organization to a popular downtown tradition.
  • Children’s Area Sponsor for Oktoberfest and Italian Fest – Support family-friendly activities at one or both festivals! This is a great way to highlight your organization to families and reinforce your commitment to community engagement.

The DDA offers sponsorship tiers ranging from $250 to $6,500, allowing every organization to find a level that fits their goals. Our staff will work closely with your team to ensure your sponsorship aligns with your marketing objectives and delivers meaningful impact, whether through event recognition, social media promotion, print and radio mentions, or event signage. Top-tier sponsors may also receive additional benefits, including co-hosted social media posts, banners at events, and naming rights for stages or key festival areas.

Sponsoring DDA events and programs is a way to actively support the vibrancy of downtown Iron Mountain. Your involvement helps bring people together, enhances the downtown experience, and strengthens the community while giving your organization valuable exposure to residents and visitors alike.
