Creative Skies is offering a limited brand sponsorship inside the Mission Bayfest drone light show at Mariners Point Park, San Diego, October 16-18, 2026.
Only two commercial brand positions exist in each night's performance: the Opening formation (Presenting Partner) and the Finale formation (Finale Partner). Everything in between is pure creative narrative, so your formation is never lost in a crowded sky of logos. Six positions exist across the whole festival.
WHAT A PARTNER GETS
- A custom logo, product, mascot or tagline formation flown hundreds of feet above Mission Bay, designed and animated for your review and approval before show night, with a true-scale AR preview on a phone.
- Approximately 15,000 attendees per night (about 45,000 cumulative attendances across three nights), plus potential visibility across roughly a 3-mile radius and 28+ sq mi of Mission Bay.
- 1M+ projected social impressions from an outdoor, night-time beach, music and lifestyle crowd with phones already in hand.
- Professional photo and video of your formation, delivered after the event and yours to keep.
- Optional SkyRender interactive layer: a single QR code on the festival LED screens lets attendees join a synchronized audio and screen-colour experience carrying your branding and a clickable call to action. No app and no sign-up. A previous Creative Skies production running SkyRender measured 10,017 tune-ins, 7,486 unique listeners, 1,631 peak concurrent and a 5:32 average listen (not a guarantee of future results).
- Measured QR scans, sessions and sponsor CTA clicks, delivered in a post-event analytics report.
RATE CARD (PER SHOW)
- Finale Partner: $20,000 (1 per night)
- Presenting Partner: $30,000 (1 per night) - includes "Presented by [Brand]" rights
- Exclusive Partner: $45,000 (opening + finale, sole commercial sponsor) - a $5,000 saving versus buying both
SkyRender is a $7,500 add-on for the Finale Partner and is fully integrated for Presenting and Exclusive. Rates are per show; multi-night packages are built custom at rate-card value and are subject to Bayfest approval.
