Why Sponsor a IFDDC Event

Promotional Opportunities

Sponsors gain visibility in the community via promotion during events. 

Access for All

Sponsorships keep IFDDCevents 100% admission-free for the public.

Supporting What You Love About Downtown

IFDDC event revenue funds non-revenue-generating programs such as downtown flower baskets, holiday décor, downtown gift cards, and more. 

Keeping It Local & Bringing People Downtown

Events rely on local vendors and service providers while attracting thousands of people downtown.

How to Sponsor a IFDDC Event

Local and statewide businesses and organizations are invited to sponsor any of the events above on a first-come, first-served basis. Each event offers a range of sponsorship tiers at different contribution levels.

While monetary sponsorships go the furthest in making these events possible, in-kind sponsorships are also greatly appreciated — especially from local service providers.

What Is the Downtown Idaho Falls Beautify Together Program?

The Downtown Idaho Falls Beautify Together Program is a seasonal beautification initiative designed to enhance the look, feel, and vibrancy of downtown Idaho Falls. Each spring and summer, decorative hanging flower baskets and ground-level planters are installed throughout the downtown core, creating a welcoming and colorful environment for residents, visitors, and businesses.

 

When Are the Flower Baskets Installed?

Each year, the IFDDC team collaborates with 4 Seasons Garden Designs to install flower baskets and ground flowerpots in late May to kick off the spring–summer beautification season and are maintained all summer long.

Who Installs and Maintains the Flower Baskets?

Several volunteers are invited from the community to install aiming to keep them up through each fall. The Idaho Falls Parks and Recreation waters the baskets seven days a week and twice daily when temperatures exceed 80°F. Volunteers and staff also regularly deadhead the flowers.

How Can I Support the Downtown Idaho Falls Beautify Together Program?

Many local businesses and individuals contribute time and donations to fund and install the baskets. 

These efforts help to create a thriving, welcoming Downtown. Help propagate and bloom a vibrant Downtown Idaho Falls by donating to the Flower Basket Program.
