Why Sponsor

Every November, more than 5,000 people from across Northeast Florida and South Georgia come to St. John the Divine for three days of authentic Greek food, live music, dance, and faith. For many families it is a generations-long tradition — and the businesses that support it are remembered by a community that genuinely shows up for the people who show up for them.

An audience that buys

Multi-generational, family-anchored, and concentrated in Jacksonville's most affluent areas — Ponte Vedra, Southside, St. Johns County, and the Beaches. Homeowners and professionals who patronize the businesses they see at the festival.

Six months of marketing — not one weekend

Top sponsors are named in our marketing from spring through November: social posts, email blasts, and year-round website presence leading into the most visible weekend of our year.

Reach far beyond the festival grounds

This year the festival is being promoted through 904 Happy Hour — Jacksonville's largest local media account, with 216,000+ followers across Instagram and Facebook — alongside local TV, print, and radio coverage. Top-tier sponsors are named inside that exposure.

Goodwill that compounds

Supporting a beloved community institution is marketing that doesn't feel like marketing. Two of our 2025 sponsors specifically tracked new clients back to their festival presence.

Primary geography: Duval, St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties plus South Georgia. Audience skews 35–65 with children and grandparents in attendance.
