Imagine the opportunity to brand an activity at an event where faces are covered with smiles. Corporate marketing exhibitors play an integral role in Festival development. We can offer the opportunity to strengthen your corporate image and promote brand identity.

Since Plano is known for its ‘family centered’ lifestyle, this event is perfect for companies committed to those marketing strategies. Our marketing exhibitors maximize their impression potential with festival participants. Most spectators spend three hours at the event, mesmerized by the balloons and night-time glows, interacting with the marketing exhibitors and vendors, participating in the Kids Fun Zone, sampling tasty food vendors and enjoying the entertainment on the concert stage.

The unique opportunity a community event of this magnitude provides is worth your investment. The H-E-B | Central Market Plano Balloon Festival believes in investing in our community. Our commitment to the community is manifested in our partnerships with local area non-profits. Because of this commitment to non-profits, over 3 million dollars has circulated back into our community through the programs and services provided by participating non-profit agencies; thus enhancing the quality of life for all of us.
