⚡ Culture Pass Experience Partnerships

The Culture Pass (21+) experience is where culture, connection, and elevated festival energy come together.

Designed as a more curated layer of 1847 Fest, Culture Pass creates space for intentional moments — social, sensory, and culturally rich — that guests remember long after the festival ends.

We’re actively partnering with brands who want to help shape this experience through thoughtful activations, products, and immersive touchpoints that enhance the overall vibe.

Opportunities may include:

• Curated product inclusion and brand moments
• Interactive or lounge-style activations
• Sampling and experiential engagement
• Cultural storytelling and creative collaborations
• Visibility within premium Culture Pass spaces

Because this experience is evolving, partnerships remain flexible — allowing brands to co-create something authentic rather than fit into a rigid package.

Most Culture Pass partnerships fall in the $1K–$3K range or in-kind support, depending on the scope of activation.

✨ Why brands love Culture Pass:

• Direct engagement with a culturally engaged audience
• Intimate environment vs. mass exposure
• Authentic community alignment
• Opportunity to create memorable brand moments

If your brand values culture, creativity, and connection — we’d love to build something together.
