Elkhart County CVB Sponsorships, Partnerships and Community Investments

The following is a comprehensive list of current festivals and events that have received support from the Elkhart County CVB over the years. While not an exhaustive history of every event we've supported, it highlights the many ways we've invested in the experiences that make Elkhart County a special place to visit, live, and gather.

Several events have also benefited from our Area Guide Assistance Fund, which helps offset advertising costs for nonprofit organizations featured in the Elkhart County Area Guide. By making advertising more accessible, the fund helps these organizations reach new audiences and connect with potential visitors they might not otherwise have the resources to reach.
