Sponsor Local Communities

Sponsorship is a great way to show your local pride, and raise your business’s profile in the Wollongong Community.

We run many activities which can offer sponsorship opportunities, from large community events to cultural and sporting programs.

Browse some of our current sponsorship options below.

New Year’s Eve

Wollongong's biggest community event on the calendar is New Year's Eve. Held along Wollongong's picturesque foreshore at Belmore Basin, this event attracts over 25.000 people from our local area and neighbouring cities.

Wollongong's New Year's Eve community celebration is a fun, family-friendly event. Activities include carnival, food and entertainment, with the evening culminating with a 9pm fireworks spectacular.

Sponsoring New Year's Eve is a great opportunity to align your brand with an event that reaches our entire community.

Australia Day

Australia Day means many different things to people within our community. On this day, Wollongong acknowledges the diversity of our community by delivering an event that captures the essence of who we are and how we each contribute to the fabric of our wonderful city and community.

The event on 26 January is a family-friendly evening event programmed with entertainment, activities and food. The event finishes with an amazing fireworks display.

Wollongong loves its sport! With more than 40 sportsgrounds across the city, we can connect you with opportunities to improve your local ground, or back your favourite sporting code.

While we welcome the support of local businesses, we have to be a little picky about our sponsors.

We look at sponsorship proposals to make sure they won’t create a conflict or affect us doing our duty in serving the community.
