The impact of sponsoring South Main Mercado extends far beyond mere brand exposure. By aligning your company with this vibrant outdoor market celebrating the Latino Community, you're not only investing in community engagement but also in the celebration of cultural diversity. In its inaugural year in 2023, the event drew an estimated 400 attendees, a diverse mix of families from Rockford and neighboring areas.This year, our goal is ambitious yet achievable: we aspire to triple the attendance numbers by expanding the event to encompass a stretch of at least three city blocks. This expansion not only signifies the growth and popularity of South Main Mercado but also presents an unparalleled opportunity for sponsors to reach an even broader audience. Our marketing efforts, which include flyering, guerilla marketing, yard signs, and press coverage, will amplify your brand and our event in tandem. Within just two months, our social media presence alone touches over 1000 people on both Instagram and Facebook. Join us as we transform the South Main Corridor into a bustling hub of activity, welcoming attendees from near and far to experience the vibrancy of our Latino community celebration.
