The Smoky Mountain Burlesque Festival is pleased to produce an annual souvenir event program to share with performers, instructors, volunteers, and VIP guests. This printed program is also available for purchase by audience attendees as part of our souvenir merchandise offerings.
This printed program presents an opportunity for businesses and organizations to support The Smoky Mountain Burlesque Festival with a smaller investment than that of full scale sponsorship, while simultaneously advertising to our cast, crew, and culture-hungry attendees!
Anticipated exposure at the event is around 500 sets of eyes, with especial interest in fringe arts, pin-up/vintage culture, entertainment, local dining and attractions, fetish businesses/events, and LGBT culture. If you're interested in supporting the festival by promoting your business in the event program, check out the details below or contact or sponsorship coordinator at smbfsponsorship@gmail.com!
