Advertise in the BFX Reader

Reach over 3,000 visitors to Berkeley in early June with an advertisement in the Festival Reader!
Reserve your ad by April 30 to reach our Festival attendees for eight days.

Email Communications and Patron Services Manager Daniel Cullen at communications@sfems.org for reservations and more information.

Our 7″ by 10″ reader—all in color—is stylish, attractive, and easy to carry and take home by our Festival attendees. Ads are integrated within the book and not relegated to the back, capturing our audience’s attention.

Your ad includes two complimentary tickets to one of our main stage concerts, based on availability.
