Advertise
As one of the largest sheep and wool events in the country, the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival attracts approximately 20,000 visitors over two days and offers a unique advertising opportunity. There are 3 main advertising opportunities – our catalog, our website, and through our sponsorship program.
Catalog Advertisements
While many festivals have switched to digital catalogs, we feel strongly that our print catalog is an important part of our identity and will continue this long-standing tradition. Our catalog contains more than 100 pages of information about the specific workshops, events, demonstrations, displays, shows, auctions, and competitions at the Festival. Over 2500 catalogs will be printed this year, with at least a third of those being mailed ahead of time to people who are eager to begin planning their visit. The remainder will be given out free of charge at the Festival. Additionally, the full catalog is available electronically on our website, increasing its reach by making it accessible to the many who may not have a printed copy. These collectible catalogs are kept by many festival attendees and used as a resource throughout the year. Since advertisers are indexed in the back, a catalog ad is a great way for customers to easily find you in the future. Catalog Advertising Deadline: January 31, 2027.
Web Advertisements
Web advertising provides year-round exposure to thousands. In addition to being displayed here on our Advertisers Page, a thumbnail of your ad will be featured in a rotation on the bottom of each page of the website. Clicking on the thumbnail will take the viewer to a full-sized version, which links directly to your web site. Web ads can be accepted at any time and run through February/March of the following year.
Sponsorships
Our sponsorship program allows your business to support a specific event at the Festival. There are various sponsorship levels which offer varying levels of exposure. Some sponsorship levels include free advertising. More detailed information.
