Celebrating its 44th year, the Franklin County Watermelon Festival will be held on August 15-16! The festival’s success is credited to our sponsors, who lend their names and financial support to the event. By participating as a sponsor, your business will benefit from extended exposure through media campaigns and promotional efforts. 

In 2024, an economic impact study was conducted of the Watermelon Festival. Attendance was estimated at 30,000; with the economic impact of visitor spending was $3.5 million and local spending at $5.58 million. We anticipate another exceptionally large crowd this year and would appreciate your financial support.


Sponsorship level options are detailed in the Sponsorship Packet. Please select the level of participation that best meets your needs and whether you will be using the complimentary booth (if applicable). Included in the Sponsorship Packet is a t-shirt/cap form; please select the number of short sleeve tees along with color(s) and size(s) you prefer. 

Please return your completed Sponsorship Packet to director@franklincountychamber.org by JUNE 13, 2025; this ensures that you will receive all benefits of sponsorship. 

We are counting on your support and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for your continued generosity in supporting the Franklin County Watermelon Festival. We are looking forward to this year’s festival!
