Sponsor & Partner
Help Portland families dance together
Dance Mode is a daytime, all-ages rave where parents and kids hit the dance floor together. Partners help us keep tickets affordable — and get in front of engaged local families in a way they'll actually remember.

Option 3 of 5
Experience Partner
Free
by application
Bring an activity that makes the day better.
No fee — your activity is your contribution. Spots are by application, because the activity has to make the day better for our families.
What we look for
- It adds real value for families — something kids and parents actively want to do, not a sales pitch.
- It fits the vibe: inclusive, playful, and safe for all ages and abilities.
- You staff and run it for an agreed time block, and bring your own materials.
- Promotion stays light — signage and your mention are included; selling requires a Vendor Booth.
What you get
- Run your activity on-site during the event
- Listed on the event schedule
- Signage at your activity space
- MC mention during the event
Ideas we'd love
Have a different idea? Pitch it — if families will love it, we want to hear it.

Good to know
