Sponsorship Details
What it is:
April twenty-third (our festival is on the nearest Sunday) is a symbolic day in world literature. Declared as International Day of the Book by UNESCO in 1995, this celebration of books and literature draws its inspiration from a Catalan tradition, the Festival of the Book and the Rose.
Now in it's 8th year, the Kensington Day of the Book Festival brings this tradition to the Washington DC area and has grown to become one of the top literary events in the area, drawing over 100 participants and thousands of visitors. Local authors, book and paper artists, publishers, literary and community organizations line Howard Avenue in historic Old Town Kensington to discuss, show, and sell their works. Festivities include live music, author readings, programs for children and adults, a scavenger hunt, an art exhibit, and much more.
This year we will be introducing a “food court,” with local food trucks vending in the historic railroad station parking lot. Visitors will be able to sit, eat, relax, and listen to some great local bands!
All activities are free and take place rain or shine.
Why you should sponsor:
Company exposure to thousands of people in the Washington/Baltimore area and beyond.
Why we need your support:
Sponsorship helps to cover the cost of the tents, promotion, bands, children activities, special guest authors, and more. 100% of all money raised goes towards the success and continuation of the festival.
