Sponsorship Opportunities

Become a sponsor of the Great State of Maine Air Show!

A partnership between your company and the Great State of Maine Air Show builds brand awareness to the thousands of attendees who are potential customers by providing extensive exposure for your products and services. In addition, sponsorship offers entertainment for your clients and employees, and most importantly, contributes to your community.

The Great State of Maine Air Show traditionally attracts thousands of people from Maine and the surrounding New England region and will feature the world famous US Air Force Thunderbirds!

Sponsoring the Great State of Maine Air Show fosters community pride and spirit. The event is a popular Maine tradition, which is estimated to generate an economic impact of over $7 million to the Midcoast region. In addition, we anticipate making significant donations to local charities and recognizing our partners in a meaningful way while doing so.

Interested in becoming a sponsor?

There are a number of marketing opportunities and sponsorship tiers for you to consider. Although these tiers are intended as examples of the types of service we can provide to our sponsors, we would be more than happy to speak with you about customizing your partnership in order to maximize the benefits to your company. Call 207.607.4191 or email Suzanne Krauss at suzannek@mrra.us for more information.
