Sponsoring the Oatmeal Festival isn’t just marketing — it’s a direct investment in Burnet County youth and the community businesses that make Bertram special.

Your brand on festival fliers, T-shirts, cups, social media, radio, and print ads — reaching the community before, during, and after the event.
Stage Recognition
Sponsors are announced from the main stage throughout the day, putting your name in front of every single attendee.
Scholarship Impact
Last year’s sponsors helped fund $11,500 in scholarships for eight graduating seniors. This year we’re aiming for $15,000.
Vendor Booth Included
Main, Stage, and Premium sponsorships include a vendor booth — face-to-face time with thousands of festival-goers.
