Sponsorship · Father’s Day 2027

Put your brand in the room where Detroit celebrates Dad.

Father’s Day has plenty of ads and very few main events. We built one — and we’re inviting a small number of partners to be part of it in 2027.

The audience

Families who show up, dressed for the occasion.

Our Father’s Day show puts comedy, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and gospel on one stage, so three generations of a family each get a favorite moment. Dads come with the partners and children celebrating them — and the grandparents come too.

It’s a premium night out, bought as a gift, in Detroit and for Detroit. A sponsor here isn’t interrupting the celebration. It’s part of it.
