The People Behind the Party: Meet Our 2026 Stage and Super Premium Sponsors

Springfield's The Block Party is free for all of Springfield.

But free doesn't mean it doesn't cost a lot to produce. Every stage, every activation, every moment that makes September 12th feel like the best night of the year — it exists because real businesses and organizations in this community decided to show up and make it happen.

This year, we're thrilled to introduce the sponsors who are stepping up to build The Block Party 2026 for the residents of Springfield and Lane County. These Friends of the Party said yes first, and enthusiastically. Thank you.

🎵 Stage Sponsors

Live music is the heartbeat of The Block Party. Three stages. Ten city blocks. One really good Saturday night. None of it happens without the organizations willing to put their name on it.

Jerry's Home Improvement — Community Stage

Jerry's has been a fixture of Lane County for decades, and now they're bringing that same energy to Main Street. As the Community Stage sponsor, Jerry's Home Improvement is putting their name on the biggest neighborhood gathering in the region. If you've ever built something with your hands, you already know Jerry's. On September 12th, you'd better head for Jerry's Stage.

PublicHouse — Stage Sponsor

PublicHouse is one of the best things to happen to Downtown Springfield in years — a converted church serving craft beer, cocktails, and live music on the back lawn. They know a thing or two about gathering people together, which makes them a natural fit as a stage sponsor for The Block Party 2026. Come for the music. Stay because you found your people.

🎤 One Stage Sponsor Spot Remaining

We have one Folk Stage sponsorship still available — and honestly, it's one of the best values in the whole packet. Your name on a stage in front of 15,000 neighbors, on Main Street banners across Historic Downtown Springfield, in every piece of paid media we run between now and September 12th. If that sounds like your kind of thing, let's talk.

⭐ Super Premium Sponsors

These are the organizations powering the activations that make The Block Party feel like, well, The Block Party. The bull. The clean streets. The prize wheel. The drifters.

Emerald Bath Works — Mechanical Bull Sponsor

In 2025, Springfield road hard. Someone took home $400. The mechanical bull is one of the most photographed, most talked-about, most-impossible-to-walk-past moments of the entire event. Emerald Bath Works — Springfield's Custom Bath Outfitter— is the reason that bull keeps bucking. We love them. The bull loves them. You will too.

Springfield Drifters — Family Sponsor

Springfield's own minor league baseball team is stepping up as our Family Sponsor, and it feels about as Springfield as it gets. The Drifters are a cornerstone of this community, and their support means the families who show up on September 12th will have an experience built just for them. Play ball.

Confident House Cleaning — Clean Block Sponsor

Here's a fun one: the organization making sure our 10-block footprint stays spotless is a house cleaning company. We didn't plan that, but we're not not proud of it. Neil Guffey and his local cleaning company, Confident House Cleaning, provide critical support that hires a Master Recycler and Crew to keep Downtown Springfield clean so 15,000 of your closest neighbors can focus on having a good time. That's community.

CLF Network — Big Prize Wheel Sponsor

The Big Prize Wheel is exactly what it sounds like — and CLF Network is the reason it's spinning. Children's Legacy Foundation's mission is rooted in building stronger communities, so it only makes sense they'd land on one of the most crowd-pleasing activations at the entire event. Stop by. Spin the wheel. Win something. Their support will help establish the 1st ever CLF Network Toddler Zone at The Block Party 2026.

‍

One More Spot. A Big One.

We're still looking for a Beverage Sponsor — a $5,000 partnership that puts your brand at the center of one of the most high-traffic, high-energy activations of the night. 15,000 thirsty neighbors. Ten blocks. Your name on it. If you're in the beverage space — or just want to own that moment — reach out. We'd love to make it work.

See You September 12th

Springfield's The Block Party 2026 is Saturday, September 12th, 4–10 p.m. in Historic Downtown Springfield. Powered by SELCO Community Credit Union. Always free. Always worth it.
