Sponsorship Opportunities
Lincoln Square’s Streetscape and Beautification Program
We plant and maintain 10 Broadway Malls running through the heart of the district, neighborhood planters, and two flowering parks-Dante Park and Richard Tucker Park-with year-round seasonal displays of beautiful flowers and shrubs. Our program remains strong and our landscaping company is out in the district almost daily, performing regular maintenance and watering to keep our displays beautiful. This program, completely supported by sponsorship, is a major community investment that demonstrates neighborhood pride and supports the economic and residential vitality of Lincoln Square.
Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square
New York City’s largest holiday festival, Winter’s Eve drew 25,000 annual attendees for an exciting night of good cheer and free entertainment for the whole family. The event took place annual in either late November or early December in the streets, public spaces and neighborhood venues, ranging from Columbus Circle northward to 70th Street. Winter’s Eve was promoted by major media outlets, including longtime sponsor WABC-TV, and studded with star power like Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, folk legend Arlo Guthrie, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes, Judy Collins, singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega and actor Kevin Bacon and his brother, Michael Bacon. Winter’s Eve was a memorable event, but has been cancelled.
Summer Concert Series
Our free Wednesday afternoon summer lunchtime concert series – Summer Jazz Sensations at Dante Park – is a winning way for corporate partners to support the neighborhood and advertise. Talk to us about underwriting one concert… or many!
Lincoln Square’s Magical Lights
Throughout the winter season, the BID installs interactive light and sound displays in our two parks and illuminates the Broadway Malls between 60th and 70th Street fostering holiday cheer for all who visit, live in, or work in Lincoln Square during this magical season. Sponsoring this program is a festive way to help create a special sense of community.
Lincoln Square Banner Program
As a symbol of Lincoln Square’s welcoming spirit, the BID designs and hoists eye-catching banners on area light poles. Sponsor logos prominently appear on the bottom portion of the banners.
Special Initiatives
Often the BID coordinates activities outside of our regular seasonal calendar-a community lecture series or a local dining event. These activities need sponsors like you. If you would like to know more about unique underwriting opportunities, please notify us.
Special Publications
The BID produces numerous special publications over the course of the year: E-newsletter (26 issues per year: 5,000+ each edition), Where to Eat in Lincoln Square Guide; Lincoln Square Map and Guide. Each publication offers space for sponsorship and advertisement placement.
