Built around your objectives.

The levels below are a starting point, not a box. Tell us who you want to reach, what you want people to feel and what success looks like — and we'll shape a partnership around it: a program you own, an illuminated installation, a moment at the start or finale, or something entirely your own.

For businesses

Want to Bring Your Brand Into the Parade?

Branded Corporate Walking Participation

$1,250reduced from $2,500

Walk the parade with your employees, customers and community while displaying your approved company brand — logos, branded lanterns, clothing, signs or materials, subject to parade guidelines and approval. Your participation helps support local school arts programs and the Miami Lantern Parade™'s broader community arts mission: you're helping put art into schools and the community, not simply buying logo exposure.

General participation is free — businesses are always welcome to bring teams and customers without branding. Larger sponsorships, activations and installations are separate (see Partners).

Schools, neighborhoods, arts groups and community organizations identifying themselves in the parade are not considered commercial branding.

Sponsorship Application Deadline: December 15, 2026

Sponsorship and branded participation applications should be submitted by December 15 to allow sufficient time for review, approvals and event integration. Opportunities submitted after December 15 may be considered subject to availability, approvals and production requirements.
