Sponsorship Opportunities

Florence’s previous Block Parties have been made possible by the generous support of our sponsors.

As the city plans for 2022, staff are again looking for this support to assist in proving this amazing event for our community. Support of this event ensures that the city can provide an evening of fun and games for families to enjoy.

The city has created three sponsorship levels that can be on the sponsorship page, www.ci.florence.or.us/blastonbaystreet.
