Presenting Festival Sponsor of
Smithfield VA Events
Thank You Smithfield Foods!
​
Since 2012, Smithfield Foods has been the presenting sponsor of every Smithfield VA Events festival, helping us grow from a single community event into a mission-driven organization that gives back over $200,000 annually year after year.

Their generosity goes far beyond sponsorship. Through product donations, resources, and behind-the-scenes support, Smithfield Foods helps us create first-class festival experiences that bring people together and generate meaningful support for organizations throughout our community.

Smithfield Foods believes “Good is What We Do” and supports the communities where they live and work — and we are grateful they continue to do so right here at home through Smithfield VA Events.

Together, we are proving that good food, good times, and good partnerships can make a lasting difference.

Community Enrichment Sponsor: 
Thank You TowneBank!
Since our very first festival, TowneBank has been more than a sponsor — they have been a true community partner.

In addition to supporting every Smithfield VA Events festival as a major sponsor, TowneBank generously donates $15,000 annually to help us continue giving back to the organizations and people who make our community stronger.

TowneBank's  mission is 
“Serving Others. Enriching Lives.”  
​
Their support helps us do exactly that.
Together, we are telling stories of impact and enriching our community through PartyWithPurposes.com.

***BUYING TIX FROM A 3rd PARTY WARNING***
​If purchasing tix from a third-party please be careful.  Lots of tix scams going on! If they tell you they will email you tickets, they are definately scammers. We only use hard copy "real" tickets. We do not have any type of electronic ticket that could be emailed to you. We are not responsible if you get scammed.
