Oregon City Parks and Recreation is seeking sponsors for this summer's Concert in the Park, held on the beautiful grounds surrounding the Carnegie Art Center, 606 John Adams Street.

On a typical concert night, more than a thousand people flock to the natural amphitheatre to the east of the Carnegie building to listen to country and western music, jazz, show tunes...you name it.

A sponsorship offers you with an opportunity to bring these much-loved community events to life. This, in turn, fosters good will for sponsors by helping build pride and fellowship within our community.

This year’s program will kick off with the 4th of July Celebration at Clackamette Park featuring a variety of musical shows throughout the day and culminating in a fireworks show at dusk. Total attendance for the 4th of July event generally reaches 3,000.

The Concert in the Park series begins July 7 and continues every Thursday evening through August 25. Each week offers a different band as well as a variety of food vendors. The open-air atmosphere contributes to an enjoyable venue for concert attendees to relax in the park grounds, while children make good use of playground equipment and the interactive water-fountain.

As a sponsor, you'll receive recognition and publicity as described below. Please review the sponsorship program to consider which level of sponsorship will best suit you!
