Sponsorship Opportunities
Our neighborhood works because our neighbors show up.
The Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association has spent years connecting local businesses with customers, opportunities, and each other. We run the events people look forward to, the newsletters people actually read, and the programming that helps small businesses grow. Now we’re inviting businesses and community members to become partners for our fiscal year (May 2026–27) — and get something real in return.Â
Why Sponsor the MPBHBA?
We’re not a single event. We’re a year-round marketing and community platform — one that reaches 300+ local businesses and thousands of 19th Ward residents through signature events, weekly newsletters, social media, workshops, and more. When you sponsor the MPBHBA, your name shows up consistently, in context, in front of people who are actively choosing to shop and eat and live locally. It’s visibility that money spent on ads rarely buys: trusted, community-rooted, and repeated throughout the year.
There’s a place for every budget. Whether you’re a solo operator or an established business looking for prominent placement, choose the level that fits — and know that every dollar fuels the work that keeps this community connected.

Where Your Support Shows Up
The following MPBHBA events and campaigns exist because of support from people who believe in this neighborhood. Your sponsorship ensures they continue—and get better every year.
Restaurant Resolution
(January–February)
A targeted campaign to fight the winter slowdown — encouraging residents to dine out at participating Western Avenue restaurants on slower weeknights, with raffle prizes to sweeten the deal.
Margarita Mile
(June–July)
Now in its sixth year, this self-guided crawl sends residents along South Western Avenue to sip artisanal margaritas at more than a dozen local bars and restaurants — keeping foot traffic flowing all summer long.
Bevapalooza
(July)
Our flagship summer festival takes over two Metra corridors for a full day of live music, local food and drink, shopping, and family fun. One of the most anticipated days on the neighborhood calendar.
Sip & Shop
(October)
A fall retail event that brings shoppers out to browse and buy at local boutiques right in the heart of the holiday lead-up season.
Tombstone 5K
(Fall)
A Halloween-season fun run that draws runners and spectators into the neighborhood and puts local businesses in front of an engaged, active crowd.
Holiday Road
(December)
Our largest single-day event of the year — dozens of businesses, a free hop-on hop-off trolley, shopping specials, kids' activities, live music, and festive food and drinks along Western Avenue.
Holiday Hurrah
(December)
A second holiday celebration that extends the season's energy and gives residents another reason to shop local before the new year.
