Funding is made possible through generous contributions from local businesses and non-profit groups. Each summer series costs approximately $48,000 to produce – with funds exclusively spent on musicians, professional sound production, media, marketing, and security.
Because the San Marcos Performing Arts Association is a 501c3 non-profit charitable organization, all donations/contributions are typically considered tax deductible; however, we recommend that you please consult your tax professional regarding the deductibility of any contribution for your particular type of business.

Several of our sponsors are locals that are excited about the opportunity to spend time with the community and get to know their neighbors, such as James Walker. James Walker is a local realtor who has been a long time Series Sponsor for Summer in the Park. He noted that he and his wife are big music fans who always attend the concerts and enjoy watching the kids playing on the lawn and sitting side by side to families from all over San Marcos and the region.
He points out that his sponsorship creates a win-win-win scenario: the community enjoys the concerts, his business thrives from the opportunity to network with so many current and prospective clients, and his customers appreciate the fact that they are doing business with a realtor who is clearly vested in the community.
Coming from a marketing background, Mr. Walker is well aware that traditional methods of effectively advertising have become an increasingly hit-or-miss and difficult to evaluate proposition. But he has no doubt that his efforts to be seen and be heard at the concerts – while tossing out beach balls or handing out teddy bears – have clearly been effective in bringing new clients to his door.
