Thank you for your interest in sponsoring LeMoyne's 27th Annual Chain of Parks Art Festival!
On behalf of the entire Chain of Parks Art Festival team, thank you to all of our sponsors for their unwavering partnership and belief in the power of art to bring our community together. Sponsorship support in 2026 was instrumental in our success!
As we look back on our “biggest and best” year yet, we are especially grateful that this experience remains a free community tradition—a gift made possible only through the personal investment of our grantors, sponsors, and patrons. In an ever-shifting landscape for arts and culture, we rely on the dedicated partners and local businesses who continue to invest in the moments that bring us all together.

Recognitions
Chain of Parks Art Festival continues to stand among the nation’s top fine art events, earning its place in Sunshine Artist Magazine’s prestigious 200 Best list for 12 consecutive years, and making an impressive 8th appearance in the Top 10 for Fine Art Festivals in the Nation. For 2026, the Festival secured the #5 Fine Art & Design Festival ranking in the Nation, maintaining its position as the top ranked Fine Art Festival in Florida. First launched in 1993, Sunshine Artist Magazine’s 200 Best rankings are based on a weighted survey where participating artists cast votes nominating their highest money-making shows from the previous year. Because the rankings focus solely on artists’ reported gross sales, they offer the most objective indicator of a show’s artistic and commercial success.
Additionally, the Festival, presented by Mad Dog Construction, won the Tallahassee Democrat’s Community Choice Award for “Best Community Event” and achieved its largest attendance to date, welcoming over 45,000 visitors to downtown Tallahassee. This achievement highlights the vibrant community support, talented artists, and exceptional outdoor cultural experience that define the event year after year.
