Sponsor the Gladstone Community Festival
Since 1894, Gladstone has been known as the “Mother Chautauqua of the West,” drawing tens of thousands to Gladstone parks for lectures, music, performances, and family-friendly gatherings.
Today, the Gladstone Community Festival continues that legacy — bringing people together through vibrant food trucks, live entertainment, vendors, children’s activities, theatrical performances, a classic car show, movies in the park, a chili cook-off, and more.
By becoming a sponsor, your organization will help rekindle our community spirit while gaining valuable visibility throughout this beloved tradition.
