The distinct sounds of Bhangra music are being heard everywhere from the nightclubs of London to the opening ceremonies of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This genre of music and dance has received recognition from the recording industry, the Hollywood movie industry, and is even experiencing a resurgence in its homeland of India.

Why sponsor the City of Bhangra?

The Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration Society (VIBC) presents the annual City of Bhangra Festival and the youth-oriented NEXT Bhangra Competition in Metro Vancouver. South Asians and non-South Asians alike participate in events during the festival, offering a unique opportunity to sponsors for exposure across Metro Vancouver, Canada and the world.

Why does the VIBC need sponsors?

The VIBC Society is a registered, not-for-profit society run entirely by volunteers. Sponsor support enables our organization to produce high quality events that promote cultural exchange and understanding while promoting a unique and vibrant folk dance.

How will sponsors benefit?

The VIBC will increase the profile of your company, products, and services in several ways: TV, Radio, and Print media exposure; Internet and email promotion; and on-site recognition throughout the celebration. For over three years, the VIBC has received an unprecedented amount of media coverage, including full-page articles and colour spreads in the Vancouver Sun, coverage by the Province newspaper, the CBC, Channel M, Globe and Mail, Georgia Straight and most South Asian media outlets in the Lower Mainland.
