Become a Proud Sponsor of the Parkside Tour of Homes
The Parkside Community Association is proud to present the 25th Annual Parkside Tour of Homes on Sunday, May 23, 2027. The quarter century milestone celebrates Parkside’s charm, history, and pride that defines our neighborhood. This beloved event welcomes 500+ visitors and reaches more than 5,000 Parkside residents, all deeply connected to the place they call home.
For local businesses, sponsoring the Tour of Homes is more than a marketing opportunity. It is a high‑trust, high‑visibility investment in a neighborhood that values and supports organizations who show genuine commitment to the community. Research shows that community‑led events create stronger brand loyalty and engagement than traditional advertising because they offer authentic local connection and targeted audience reach.
Why Sponsoring the Tour Is a Smart Investment
- Parkside residents choose local. Businesses that “show love” to the neighborhood earn lasting goodwill and repeat customers.
- High visibility with a long shelf life. Our professionally designed Tour program is retained by residents, architecture enthusiasts, and history buffs for months and often years making your ad a durable brand touchpoint.
- Authentic community alignment. Sponsors are seen as partners in preserving Parkside’s historic character and supporting neighborhood enrichment.
- Meaningful engagement. Community sponsorships build trust, enhance brand authenticity, and generate stronger local buzz than traditional print or digital ad.
How Your Organization Can Participate
We offer several sponsorship levels to help you connect with residents, visitors, and local supporters. Each tier provides opportunities for recognition, visibility, and engagement throughout the event.
We would be honored to include your organization in this landmark 25th anniversary celebration.
