Twenty-five years ago, a group of community-minded individuals came together to plan a street party that would bring the people of Greater Hazleton together in one big celebration.

With that, FUNFEST was born.

FUNFEST survived its early years, growing to become one of the largest community festivals in Eastern Pennsylvania. In fact, FUNFEST 2002 attracted one of the biggest crowds in our history.

Now, we at FUNFEST are ready to party again.

This year’s celebration will be bigger and better than ever, as FUNFEST marks its Silver Anniversary.

Our theme, “Celebrate With Us,” means everyone is invited to the party – including your business!

FUNFEST is a unique opportunity for you to gain valuable exposure for your company. Over 70,000 people attend FUNFEST activities, and tens of thousands of others are exposed to the tremendous amount of pre-event publicity and advertising.

FUNFEST Weekend is two full days of activities, including free entertainment, a classic car show, one of the largest craft shows in the East, a street fair, and, of course, the FUNFEST Parade! Funding for FUNFEST is provided by a limited number of corporate sponsors who lend their name to a well-known, first-class community event.

Advertising sponsorship levels range from $325 to $2,500, and can fit into any budget.

But the best part about FUNFEST is that the entire event helps local non-profit community groups who set up booths in an effort to raise funds. It's a good time for many good causes. You can become a sponsor online right now!
