Jazz Sponsorship Package 2004a

Run & Row to the Rhythm of the City!
OCTOBER 4 & 5, 2014
www.vallejowaterfrontweekend.com
T
he first Vallejo Waterfront Weekend was developed in 2004 as a collaboration
of events and organizations in Vallejo and the surrounding area. After a
decade, we are re-establishing this event to once again bring our community
together. By maximizing resources and reducing expenses to create one major
event, we are creating an organizational structure that local non-profits can
benefit from for years to come. We are celebrating and uniting the unique talents
and diversities of our community while providing a one-stop shop for regional
sponsorship. We have designated the Mira Community Cultural Center as this
year’s main beneficiary, but the event will also provide an opportunity for other
non-profits to raise money for their organizations by taking advantage of the
regional venue.
Taking place over two days during the first weekend of October, the event
features music, food, entertainment and activities for the entire family. The
Vallejo Waterfront Weekend will draw thousands of individuals from Vallejo,
Solano County and the entire Bay Area. The festival unites the Downtown and
Waterfront communities and will also celebrate the historic significance of the
Mare Island Naval Shipyard. This effort will require the support of local and
regional sponsors, companies, vendors and hundreds of volunteers. Transportation will be provided throughout the event so visitors can park and get around
to all the various activities.

GOALS AND MISSION
This two-day festival will celebrate the City of Vallejo,
Historic Mare Island and Solano County. Vallejo Waterfront Weekend will showcase why we choose to live,
work, and play in this vibrant community. The goal of
the steering committee is to ensure that attendees (residents and visitors alike) enjoy the weekend, participate
in its growth and look forward to its return each year.
In addition to providing a fun-filled event for the entire
community, Vallejo Waterfront Weekend provides much
more. The mission of the event committee is to unite the
community while also providing various non-profits a
venue to showcase their organizations and raise much
needed funds. Net proceeds from this weekend will be
dedicated to the rehabilitation of the Mira Community
Cultural Center. We are partnering with business, labor
and Rebuilding Together Solano County to turn this
historic neighborhood landmark into the jewel that will
welcome visitors entering our city.
This event is the vision of a group of organizations
who have decided to combine resources and talent to put
on a family friendly event that will showcase our vibrant
community. They include: City of Vallejo, Better Vallejo,
MARE ISLAND
• The Mare Island Historical Museum
• Coal Shed Art Studios
• 160th Anniversary of the
establishment of Mare Island
Naval Shipyard
• Mare Island Shoreline
Heritage Preserve
• Other venues will be open to the
