Sponsor the 2026 Steamtown Music Awards & Electric City Music Conference

September 10–12, 2026 | Scranton, PA

Step into the center of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s music scene and put your brand in front of thousands of engaged, experience-driven consumers.

This three-day event brings together 2,500+ attendees, including a highly desirable audience of 18–45-year-olds with disposable income who are curious, community-minded, and eager to discover new brands, products, and experiences.

Why This Event Stands Out

A Built-In Audience

  • The Steamtown Music Awards sells out every year with 500+ attendees
  • The full conference draws 2,500+ people across the weekend
  • Attendees actively engage with brands, vendors, and experiences

Nonstop Energy Across Three Days

  • 150+ live performances across 10+ venues
  • Artists from across the country and beyond
  • A vibrant mix of genres, styles, and audiences

More Than Just Music

  • Free workshops, panels, and mentoring sessions open to the public
  • Networking opportunities for artists, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals
  • Community-focused programming that keeps attendees engaged all weekend

Expanded Access = More Exposure

  • New this year: Free public showcases at multiple partner venues
  • Increased foot traffic and broader reach for sponsors

Easy, Walkable Experience

  • All venues located within a few blocks in downtown Scranton
  • Attendees move easily between stages, maximizing visibility for your brand

Long-Lasting Reach

  • 10,000 printed festival guides distributed across NEPA
  • Digital promotion across 150+ social and marketing assets
  • Continued brand exposure through merchandise, media, and online content
