Become a 2nd Friday Sponsor!

On the 2nd Friday of each month Mesa's historic downtown comes alive as street artisans, craft vendors, unique restaurants and shops, musicians and one-of-a-kind art & cultural events come together as the 2010 New Times "Best of Phoenix - Block Party!"

Our 2nd Friday community event draws over 3000 attendees from across the valley to Mesa's historic Main Street art & cultural district for an evening of fun, food and festivities for the whole family! Each month is different and past events have included fashion shows, pop culture art shows, classic car exhibits, music festivals and even dog nights!

2nd Friday is coordinated by volunteers which include 2nd Friday, LLC, local merchants, property owners, and community residents with the common goal of revitalizing the historic Mesa downtown area.

Our event reserves prime Main Street corner locations on event nights for sponsors that financially assist with helping to fund the 2nd Friday organization's costs which include licensing, insurance, advertising, printing, security, restroom facilities, prize purchases, bands and entertainment costs. Event organizers do not profit from any sponsorship dollars received and all profits are directed back into growing our event.

2nd Friday is an excellent opportunity for your business or organization to be seen by and interact with our thousands of guests, from a highly visible corner of beautiful downtown Mesa! If you are interested in being a 2nd Friday sponsor and a part of the best block party in the valley, please contact Suzanne Woodford at (602) 318-5689 for information on our affordable sponsorship rates!
