Sponsoring the Blyth Festival offers businesses an opportunity to give back and reinvest in the local region, while at the same time reaching a targeted demographic to strengthen your own business’s success.

“Foxton Fuels is proud to continue its 50-year tradition of community sponsorship and its ongoing relationship with the Blyth Festival. We believe live theatre offers us the chance to share a story that can make us laugh and can also move us to tears, that can recognize and celebrate our similarities and our differences, that we can see ourselves reflected in and that can remind us that we are all in this together.
We are incredibly lucky to have Blyth Festival in our “backyard” where the plays, written, performed, directed and designed by Canadians, highlight the joy of rural life in Ontario.”
“Bruce Power supports the Blyth Festival because it aligns with our commitment to promoting and sustaining arts and culture in Bruce, Grey and Huron counties. The Blyth Festival is a unique experience for theatre-goers of all ages, and we are happy to support it and the Blyth community.”
