Downtown San Rafael Holiday Event Producer Request for Proposal (RFP)
The BID has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for event production services on behalf of the San Rafael Business Improvement District (BID) and the San Rafael Chamber. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified event producers to provide comprehensive event services for the upcoming "San Rafael Holiday of Lights and Winter Wonderland." This is Downtown San Rafael’s largest holiday event, a tradition that began over 45 years ago. The goal is to bring families to Downtown San Rafael on Shop Small Saturday to support local businesses, community engagement, and economic vitality.
Due to Covid, there was no holiday event in 2020 or 2021. The BID’s volunteer Event Committee and part-time staff produced a small version of the event in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, we hope to bring back a large event orchestrated by a professional event producer.
All interested parties should review the scope of work and elements needed to make this event once again the biggest event in Downtown San Rafael! Please share. RFP's due by September 16th.
