2023 Flower Basket Campaign

Celebrate someone who has made a difference. Sponsor a flower basket.

Honor someone who has made a difference, whether in your life or the lives of others, with flowers that bloom the whole summer through!

Sponsor a hanging flower basket to be hung on our downtown lamp posts In Honor of or In Memory of someone who has made a difference, or as a Business Sponsor. Sponsored flower baskets will be accompanied by a prominent gift tag attached to the basket’s lamp post celebrating both the sponsor and the person/business they have chosen.

Each basket sponsorship is $75 with the option to contribute an additional $25 as a donation to Marietta Main Street in support of our mission to continue revitalizing downtown and doing our part to bring the Marietta community together.

The deadline to sponsor downtown lampposts is Monday, April 30th.

Important Information
