We are looking to local merchants and anyone who is interested in being a sponsor.  Our festival continues to bring record numbers of foot traffic to the parade and festival grounds!  This is a great opportunity to showcase your business. We have many options available to choose from based on your needs.  

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?  

The Blue Tip Festival Committee is a non-profit, fundraising organization that supports Wadsworth based non-profit groups.  Previously, we were able to raise over $40,000 in support to over 25 local organizations.  These groups are the​ difference makers ​in our community.  They continue to overcome financial obstacles with your support.
