Sponsorship Opportunities

Oi! Thank you for considering sponsorship opportunities with The Handphibians and Madison Carnaval.

Sponsorship with us means more than just advertising; it’s about supporting community-driven cultural events that connect with audiences on a deep level.

We offer flexible sponsorship packages designed to provide value, visibility, and engagement.

As of 2024, we have two main areas available for sponsorship:

  1. Madison Carnaval – Sponsor the event
  2. Handphibians – Sponsor our group

Sponsor Madison Carnaval

Madison Carnaval has been a cornerstone event for over two decades, and in 2025, we’ll celebrate the 25th annual Madison Carnaval. This milestone year is set to be one of the biggest yet, with expanded performances, special guests, and a larger audience. Held annually in late February or early March, the event has become a signature celebration in Madison.

Inspired by Brazil’s iconic Carnaval, Madison Carnaval features live samba drumming, traditional dance, and vibrant costumes. The event draws both local residents and regional visitors, offering sponsors unique in-person exposure and digital reach through MadisonCarnaval.com and Handphibians.org, which see 4,000 combined annual visitors.

Sponsors of this special event will have the opportunity to align their brand with a well-established cultural festival that will draw even more attention and media coverage, especially in this 25th-anniversary year.

Examples of Event Sponsorship Benefits:

  • Prominent Brand Placement: Your logo will feature prominently on all key digital properties, including MadisonCarnaval.com and Handphibians.org, as well as on promotional materials leading up to the event.
  • Verbal Sponsorship Announcements: Get acknowledged at the event with special mentions during live performances, ensuring your brand is front and center.
