2018 Holiday Lights

10/3/2018

The Brighton Board of Trade is thrilled to announce sponsorship opportunities for the 2018 Holiday Lights in the Brighton Business district!

Every holiday season, from late November into the new year, the main streets of Brighton are aglow with beautiful lights that enhance the beauty of our business district, improving the appearance of our community while drawing in shoppers to our local stores and shops. Brighton Board of Trade members make this possible through their generous sponsorship, and each participating sponsor is recognized with a gorgeous banner that is prominently displayed in our main business corridor.

Join in the time-honored tradition of lighting up our business community for the holiday season by becoming a 2018 Lights sponsor. Here’s what a commitment to the Holiday Lights can mean for your business:

Jingle Bells level ($1,000)

Sponsor’s business logo will be featured on a 60” X 30” personalized, individual banner placed in a highly visible location along the Market Street and Chestnut Hill Avenue corridor in the Brighton business district throughout the month of December- the height of the holiday shopping season!
This level also includes recognition at annual holiday tree lighting in Brighton Center and Oak Square Tree Lighting.
Banners can be used again every holiday season for no more than cost of Jingle Bells level sponsorship .

Frosty the Snowman level ($500)

Sponsor’s business logo will be featured on a 48” X 24” personalized, individual banner will be placed in a highly visible location in the Brighton business district throughout the month of December– the height of the holiday shopping season! This size banner can be placed in front of your business if there are suitable poles available. This level also includes recognition at annual holiday tree lighting in Brighton Center and Oak Square Tree Lighting.

If you are interested in sponsoring the annual holiday lights or in joining the annual holiday lights planning committee please contact Norman O'Grady at 617-254-2525 or normanogradyprg@gmail.com.
