Become part of something special this summer ✨

Summer Night Lights is more than an event — it’s an opportunity to bring our community together through live music, local vendors, family fun, and unforgettable evenings along the river in Downtown Palatka.

We’re currently seeking sponsors who want to help make this series possible while connecting their business with thousands of residents and visitors throughout the summer.

Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple levels, including entertainment sponsorships, and custom partnership opportunities may be available.
