Partnership Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in becoming a partner of the Official 2024 Waterfowl Festival Guide. The Guide offers sponsors, businesses and organizations prominent exposure to our nearly 15,000 event visitors. Additionally, you’ll support our collective efforts for preserving waterfowl, wildlife and their habitat across the Delmarva Peninsula.
Since 1970, the Waterfowl Festival has captured the romance, excitement and heritage of waterfowl hunting in the Chesapeake Bay region. The Festival has become famous for its quality of exhibited artwork and its variety of wildfowl related activities — drawing visitors from across the country and around the world. For three days in early November, the town transforms into a welcoming destination for art lovers, sporting life enthusiasts and families.
