The Emberlight Festival is transforming Ironwood, MI and Hurley, WI into a vibrant cultural hub. Over the past four years, we’ve attracted thousands visitors from across the US and internationally, including Spain, Mexico, Canada and Finland.
Our Vision: To bring diverse, professional, and meaningful artistic experiences to the heart of the Northern Midwest.
Partner with Emberlight
We collaborate with forward-thinking companies throughout the region to share the power of music, film, visual arts, and creative expression. Your investment fuels our dynamic programming that brings world-renowned artists to our annual festival. In turn, Emberlight offers our sponsors customizable advertising benefits to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.
Our audience has developed into a devoted demographic who enjoy high quality experiences in our rural and remote towns. The combination of Broadway performers in a small town atmosphere has created a unique fusion. We call it the Emberlight Experience. Audiences come to Emberlight to have once-in-a-lifetime artistic experiences, and then bump into our performers out on the town the next morning.
Becoming an Emberlight sponsor aligns your brand with our art.
Emberlight sponsors contribute 45% of our annual donations. They are a vital part of Emberlight’s success. We offer sponsorships at multiple levels with some benefits including program ads, commercials before film screenings, free tickets for your employees, and underwriting specific events or artists.
