BUSINESS CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM

When you join the Blyth Festival Business Circle, your contribution directly supports new play development and play production, as well as community outreach initiatives and youth programming that contribute to the quality of life in Huron County and the surrounding area.

The Blyth Festival Business Circle offers community partners an opportunity to give back and reinvest in the local region, while at the same time reaching a targeted demographic to strengthen your own business network.
