OPPORTUNITIES BROCHURE

NEW FOR 2019

New Location!It looks great to have an event on the streets, but at the end of the day we need to keep people safe. To this end, we have moved the event to the new location of the Columbia Animal Shelter on 10th Street. This location, previously of the carnival, will afford greater security, greater protection, and grassy areas to secure tents and provide a softer experience.

Partnership with CrocodileDogIn 2018 we partnered with CrocodileDog Marketing to bring the festival back, and bring it back we did. We will continue this partnership and see how great we can make this festival! Look forward to the many improvements they will be making in the next year.

about rivertown hops

What is Rivertown?Rivertwon Hops attendees enjoy samples from nearly 30 craft beer, homebrew, cider, wine, mead, and spirits vendors. In addition, the event hosts snack and food vendors, bands, lawn games, and vendors of stuff. Attendees pay for a VIP (4 hour) or General Admission (3 hour) ticket and are free to try anything they want.

Who does it benefit?Rivertown Hops benefits the Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce. We have partnered with CrocodileDog Marketing who has 10 years of experience in beer and wine festivals in the region. With their help, we overcame the “canceled year” and expect to grow this year.

How will your money be used?As you browse through this brochure, you’ll notice there are no “sponsor levels”. At Rivertown, every sponsorship receives a tangible marketing value; signage, branded amenities, space. If you wanted to just give money to a cause you could do that. We think you might like to reach the people who are showing up, and that’s where this brochure and the activations therin, come in handy.

Who do I contact when I’m ready?CrocodileDog Marketing will be handling the flow of sponsorships and vendors for us so that we concentrate on doing what we do best. At the back of this brochure, you will see their contact information. They can answer any questions and let you know if the sposnorship is still available.
