The 4th annual Spice & Music Festival is scheduled for June 5 – 8, 2008 on the grounds of Evangeline Downs in Opelousas. Due to the support of wonderful sponsors each year, we welcome a crowd of over 10,000 visitors.  The Spice & Music Festival has put Opelousas on the map and in recent years, the State legislature passed a resolution, which proclaimed Opelousas, Louisiana the Spice Capital of Louisiana.

We are currently seeking sponsorship support from all our local businesses.  Sponsors will receive many advertising benefits such as name placement at the festival, listings on our city and festival websites along with other promotional ads and possible radio and TV spots (depending on the level of sponsorship). 

Traditionally, our local businesses have been very involved and supportive of this annual festival. The sponsorship levels below identify the benefit package that your company or organization will receive by being a part of this huge community event.  If you are interested in sponsoring this year’s event, please mail the completed sponsorship confirmation form with a check to City of Opelousas Spice & Music Festival, 828 E.
