California Freethought Day

Table and Sponsor

Be Recognized by California's Secular Community

Download our Sponsorship Flyer

Held at the steps of our state's capitol, Freethought Day unites our state's non-religious community to celebrate secular rights, science, and the First Amendment in an outdoor festival with live entertainment, community groups, family fun, and powerful speakers.

Since its beginnings at the Sacramento County Courthouse Plaza in 2002, admission has always been free - supported by donors and sponsors who are recognized frequently from the stage, at our exhibition area, in our full-color program, through social media, and on our website.

CFD is managed by a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, and run entirely by volunteers.

An attendance of 500 is expected at our main event on Sunday, October 16, and three auxiliary events spanning the weekend attract a demographic that is philanthropic, involved, and progressive.

One in three Californians identify as non-religious¹, and your message will reach an audience that will cherish your support of one of the best events they will attend all year long.
