  • About the event

    Fanfare Merch & Music Fest is a merch-first cultural festival designed to spotlight brands, creators, and entrepreneurs as the main attraction — not background noise.

    Unlike traditional festivals where merchandise is an afterthought, Fanfare centers the experience around discovery, brand interaction, and real economic engagement. Attendees come ready to browse, buy, and connect directly with the people behind the brands.

    The event blends:

    Curated merch and brand activations

    Multi-genre DJ experiences and micro-performances

    Community-driven programming

    Purpose-based partnerships

    All within a high-energy, rooftop-style environment built for culture, commerce, and connection.

    Why Sponsors Participate

    Sponsoring Fanfare isn’t about slapping a logo on a flyer — it’s about active brand presence in a space where attendees are already in discovery mode.

    Sponsors benefit from:

    Direct access to a culture-engaged audience

    Authentic brand alignment with creators and entrepreneurs

    On-site and digital visibility opportunities

    Optional media amplification and event integration

    Association with a purpose-driven event model

    Audience Snapshot

    Creators, artists, and brand builders

    Culture-forward consumers

    Entrepreneurs and small business owners

    Music-aware, fashion-focused attendees

    Community supporters invested in impact

    This is an audience that values authenticity, creativity, and brands with intention.

    Built-In Impact

    A portion of proceeds from Fanfare Merch & Music Fest supports RevoVend EDU, a nonprofit initiative providing scholarships and entrepreneurship opportunities for students.

    Sponsors are not only supporting an event — they’re supporting access, opportunity, and creative economic growth.

    Sponsorship Opportunities

    Sponsors can participate through:

    Brand activations and vendor placements

    Media and promotional sponsorships

    Community and scholarship support tiers

    In-kind contributions (products or services)

    Founding and presenting partner opportunities

    Packages are structured to support both emerging and established brands.

    Fanfare Merch & Music Fest offers sponsors a chance to engage culture, commerce, and community in one intentional experience.

    Why should you sponsor?

    Why Should a Sponsor Support Fanfare Merch & Music Fest?

    1. Access to an Intentional Audience

    Fanfare attracts creators, entrepreneurs, and culture-driven consumers who come ready to discover brands — not just walk past them. This is an audience that values originality, independent businesses, and meaningful brand connections.

    2. Real Engagement, Not Passive Exposure

    Unlike traditional sponsorships that rely on logos and impressions, Fanfare offers active engagement — face-to-face interactions, product discovery, and authentic brand moments that attendees remember.

    3. Alignment With Culture & Creativity

    Fanfare is built at the intersection of fashion, music, and entrepreneurship. Sponsors align with a platform that celebrates creativity, independence, and cultural relevance rather than generic mass marketing.

    4. Flexible Sponsorship Options

    Sponsors can participate at multiple levels — from founding support to media placements to in-kind contributions — allowing brands of all sizes to engage in a way that fits their goals and budgets.

    5. Community Impact With Purpose

    A portion of event proceeds supports RevoVend EDU, a nonprofit initiative funding scholarships and hands-on entrepreneurship opportunities for students. Sponsors contribute to tangible impact while gaining positive brand association.

    6. Visibility That Extends Beyond Event Day

    Through digital promotion, media partnerships, and post-event recaps, sponsor visibility continues beyond the event — extending reach and reinforcing brand presence.

    7. Early Support of a Scalable Event Platform

    Sponsors have the opportunity to support Fanfare at its launch stage, positioning themselves as early partners in a festival model designed to grow into future editions and additional markets.

    About the Organizer & Event Origins

    Fanfare Merch & Music Fest was created by RevoVend Eco LLC, a culture-forward event and commerce platform focused on empowering creators, entrepreneurs, and independent brands through innovative event experiences.

    RevoVend was built to reimagine how vendors, artists, and small businesses access opportunities — removing traditional barriers while creating real pathways to visibility, income, and growth. As the platform evolved, it became clear that there was a missing space in the live-event world: a place where merchandise, brands, and creators were the main attraction, not an afterthought.

    That vision became Fanfare Merch & Music Fest.

    To extend impact beyond the event itself, RevoVend EDU was launched as the nonprofit arm of the ecosystem. RevoVend EDU focuses on scholarships, hands-on entrepreneurship exposure, and creative economic opportunities for students. A portion of proceeds from Fanfare Fest directly supports these initiatives.

    Media & Community Partnership

    A key pillar of Fanfare Fest’s launch is its longstanding media partnership with Hilltop Radio.

    The founder of RevoVend and Fanfare Fest has worked closely with DJ Sean of Hilltop Radio for many years, collaborating on artist promotion, media exposure, and community-driven creative projects. Hilltop Radio has consistently supported independent creators and emerging platforms, making this partnership a natural extension of shared values.

    Founded over 15 years ago, Hilltop Radio is an established digital radio station with a global listener base reaching up to 2 million listeners annually. The station is recognized for its commitment to independent music, culture, and entrepreneurial voices, and plays a key role in amplifying the reach and awareness of Fanfare Fest.

    This partnership ensures that Fanfare is supported not only by live event energy, but also by trusted media amplification rooted in culture and credibility.

    Why This Matters to Sponsors

    Fanfare Merch & Music Fest is not a one-off event — it is the result of years of platform building, media collaboration, and community engagement.

    Sponsors are supporting:

    An experienced organizer with multiple operating platforms

    A festival built on proven media relationships

    A nonprofit-backed impact model

    A scalable event concept designed for growth
