The City of Irvine Global Village Festival is now taking applications for sponsors for its 2018 event, which is Saturday, Sept. 22, at its new location, the Orange County Great Park.

A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2018 Irvine Global Village Festival. The all-day event features more than 100 performances representing cultures from around the world; international cuisine; kids’ crafts and activities; cultural and religious exhibits; and an international marketplace. The festival is one of Orange County’s fastest-growing multicultural events. With more than 25,000 people in attendance, the festival’s highly diverse audience makes it an ideal partner for businesses and organizations looking for increased visibility to new markets.

Applications for entertainment are also now open; applications for vendors, restaurants and exhibitors – including nonpolitical, nonprofit and governmental organizations looking to support the festival as a community partner – will open in late April.
