15th Annual Balboa New Year's DAY Talent Celebration

Balboa Gazebo, Oceanfront & Main Street, Balboa Village, Newport Beach, CA

To Participate or Sponsor Contact Tina4Music@Yahoo.com

 

The 15th Annual Balboa New Years Day Talent Celebration FREE Community Event at the historic gazebo stage in Peninsula Park near The Balboa Pier & Oceanfront Bike Path   After producing our annual Balboa New Year's DAY Talent celebration FREE community event for all ages at my own expense for the past many years even previous to 14 years ago when I received notification from the city that it had then been recognized as a special event requiring payment of permits and insurance, this year I am asking for sponsorship assistance in exchange for extensive promotional advertising on all affiliated online and print distributions AND video eMail commercial logo template with distribution 

 

This tradition of family FUN also involving Balboa merchant friends who generously provide free gifts and prizes is unique and especially beneficial since most communities only provide opportunities to celebrate New Years EVE for ages over 21 and are not FREE.

 

Your sponsorship and efforts to share this opportunity will be appreciated far beyond results from your investment for  this one event since will also be contributing to the passionate efforts of many to save preserve, restore and continue to enhance the history of FUN in Balboa throughout all seasons for the pleasure of present and future generations including local and global friends all over the world who enjoy sharing nostalgia and child hood memories of every day life and family vacations most often referred to as "The best times of our lives" 

 

You can view examples of this FUN daily communication at Facebook groups 

 

"I grew up in Newport Beach before it was The OC" 

"Balboa FUN Zone Rides"  

"Balboa Village FUN Zone" 

and "Balboa-Island"
