BECOME INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY The Chanhassen Parks & Recreation Department could not bring our annual events to the community without the generous support of our local community event sponsors! As we approach 2025, we are looking for businesses, organizations, and individuals that are interested in supporting community events and programs. If you are interested in demonstrating positive corporate citizenship while gaining greater visibility and valuable exposure, consider partnering with the Chanhassen Parks & Recreation Department. We truly could not do it without our sponsors! Learn more online at ChanhassenMN.gov/Sponsorship.
