Sedona AZ (August 9, 2016) – It may be hot outside, but planning for this holiday season’s Tinsel Town has begun, and the city of Sedona’s Parks and Recreation Department seeks businesses and organizations to sponsor and or exhibit at the event.

As Sedona’s only holiday walk-through light display, exhibitors create their own light display at a unique space that is provided within Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, 336 Highway 179, Sedona. Exhibitors will be provided electricity and need only to submit their decoration idea and pay the participation cost of $50. The display will be viewed by thousands, who will be allowed to vote for their favorite, the People’s Choice Winner. As an added bonus, the winner will be awarded a $500 cash prize. This is not only a great opportunity for businesses and organizations to advertise, but also is a good team building exercise for coworkers and clubs.

Business and or organizations sponsoring a Tinsel Town display, at costs of $500, $1,500 or $5,000, will have its business or organization name displayed on one or more light displays, along with being named in the city’s event advertising and listed as a sponsor for Holiday Central Sedona and the Sedona Chamber of Commerce advertising. The larger the sponsorship, the larger the light display, and sponsors will have the option to decorate if they desire.

This will be the fourth year that Tinsel Town sparkles in the evenings throughout the month of December and, new for 2016, the event will be held at Tlaquepaque.

“By joining forces with the already strong holiday season decorations at Tlaquepaque, it has inspired us to do even more this year as we work together to create a great atmosphere for locals and tourists alike,” said Rachel Murdoch, city of Sedona parks and recreation manager.

Murdoch hopes the community sponsorships and light exhibits will enhance the displays and help boost community feel for the event. Local organizations and businesses wanting to participate as exhibitors or as sponsors need to complete the necessary applications by September 15, 2016, which can be picked up in the Parks and Recreation Department’s office at 525 Posse Ground Road or emailed to applicants by reaching out to Murdoch at RMurdoch@SedonaAZ.gov.
