Sponsorship Opportunities

Founded in 2007 by a group of pirate enthusiasts and seasoned festival producers, The Northern California Pirate Festival opened its doors for the first time to 32,000 individual festival-goers over a two day period. This number blew the projected 5,000 pirate lovers expected to attend during the Father’s Day Weekend out of Vallejo’s pirate-infested waters.  This attendance has held fast ever since.

​

The festival is held in Vallejo, California, with easy access from San Francisco by ferry and two major travel routes that connect the North and the East Bay to the area. Vallejo, California is the gateway to the heart of wine country. The area beyond is one of the most affluent and culturally rich areas in the country renowned for its trend setting LOHAS demographic (Lifestyle of Health & Sustainability). The Pirate Fest is less than one hour from the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, with easy access for over seven million people and a wide variety of business and media outlets.



Currently a partnership with The Northern California Pirate Festival includes:

• Positive brand association with an event that promotes family togetherness and adventure.

• 15,000+ member newsletter mailing list, Plus marketing partners with 30,000 + combined mailing lists

Want to Become a PlankOwner?

A "plank owner" is an individual who was a member of the crew of a ship when that ship was placed in commission. Originally, this term applied only to crewmembers present at the ship's first commissioning. The origin of the term is the implication that a crew member was around when the ship was being built and commissioned and therefore has bragging rights to the ownership of one of the deck planks in the main deck.

Our very own “NorCal PirateFest Plank Owners Club” is a very special level of sponsorship available to individuals who want to help the pirate festival “above and beyond” and at the same time get some fabulous gifts! (Just like public television – we want to thank you for your generous contribution!) Not only are there great gifts that you can’t get anywhere else, but you can sleep well in your hammock at night knowing that you helped keep the Pirate Festival alive and helped launch the PirateFest and that your generous donations help with everything from supporting the cannon battles to bringing the finest in nautical entertainment to the event.
