EarthFair in Balboa Park:
the largest FREE annual environmental fair
and Earth Day celebration in the world
Featuring the Cannabis Row Exhibit Area,
Sun Stage and Beer Garden
EarthFair 2022 will be our 31st annual event – the 53th anniversary of the first Earth Day! Each year, the EarthFair draws around 50,000 visitors. For the fourth year, EarthFair will be hosting an area dedicated to cannabis-related businesses and non-profits.
EarthFair could not be sustained without the generous financial support of our sponsors. EarthFair attendance is free, and the fees paid by exhibitors cover only part of the cost of producing the event.
This year, we are providing several sponsorships that focus on the Cannabis Row area at EarthFair. These are offered in addition to our standard sponsorships.
We provide sponsor acknowledgement at EarthFair, and in pre-event promotions, through the placement of sponsor’s logo and/or name impressions on a variety of print media, banners, and signs.
The following sections describe the Cannabis Row sponsorships offered. A key at the bottom of each section indicates the sponsorship levels that will receive recognition in that promotion. Our standard sponsorship package levels are:
| $5,000 Beer Garden Exhibitor Sponsorship |
Beer |
| $7,500 Silver Exhibitor Sponsorship |

Cannabis Row Sponsorship Benefits
Exhibit Space at Cannabis Row
The best way to present your business or organization’s cause, product or service to the thousands of EarthFair visitors is to have a great exhibit.
- Beer sponsors receive a 10' x 10' exhibit space in the Beer Garden.
- Other sponsors receive between two and four 10' x 10' exhibit booths in Cannbis Row that may be arranged as desired (e.g., 3 spaces could be one 10' x 10' booth and one 10' x 20' booth).
- Exhibitor sponsors may choose their exhibit site at no additional cost.
We will provide the canopies, tables, chairs for your exhibit. Or, we can accommodate your own custom exhibit plans and materials.
Note that Cannabis Row is a large area. Sponsors my find it worthwhile to split their exhibits in two locations to ensure have contact with a larger number of attendees.

The Mural Wall
For the past 4 events, EarthFair has presented a 200-foot long display wall, consisting of 25 4' x 8' panels. Virtually all visitors passing between the north and south halves of EarthFair pass by the Mural Wall, and it has become a popular feature.
Various Mural Wall panels feature: new and historical Earth Day artwork; photos of EarthFair volunteers and exhibitors; artists creating new, "live" artwork on-site; environmental artwork and cartoons that visitors can fill in with colored markers.
One of the panels in the Mural Wall displays the logos of EarthFair sponsors. Three additional murals with the logos are placed at the major pedestrian entrances to EarthFair: at the Cabrillo Bridge on the west, at Park Blvd. and Presidents Way on the southeast, and at Village Place on the northeast.
Platinum and Presenting sponsors will have their logo displayed on the Mural panel. In addition, the Presenting sponsor will have their logo on the three entrance murals.
Sun Stage
The Sun Stage, south of the Federal Bldg./ComiCon, next to the EarthFair Beer Garden, features contemporary rock and jazz plus cannabis/hemp and other "green"-oriented presentations.
Sponsors at the gold level and above will receive:
- Live acknowledgments from the stage, between presentations.
- On the stage banner with their name or logo.
- On stage schedule signs, adjacent to the stage.
- On our website, with live links to the sponsor's website.
Platinum and Presenting Sponsors will be have a presentation scheduled on the Sun Stage: 5 minutes for Platinum sponsors and 10 minutes for Presenting sponsors.
In addition the Presenting Sponsor will be able to schedule time to make a "green " presentation.

Special Promotions
The sponsorship programs shown above meet the requirements of about 90% of our sponsors. However, you may have a project or promotion that requires special arrangements. An example is the above photo of the Clean Fuel Coalition exhibit from 2003 that required a pavilion for 15 separate vendors, plus a turntable for an electric vehicle being given away at the fair. No problem.
Please contact EarthWorks to discuss your special requirements. We will craft a sponsorship package that meets your needs, and your budget.
