The IKEA-Renton River Days relationship has provided annual financial contributions at the highest level, print material graphic design, and store gift cards to support the festival’s many “sanctioned” events with contest prizes, art awards and appreciation of volunteers.  Together with the support of all of the festival’s many sponsors, contributors and the City of Renton, the Title Sponsor relationship with IKEA has enabled Renton River Days to produce a quality, safe and family-oriented festival and continue its longtime tradition of offering virtually all its activities free to families and children.  Please join us in thanking IKEA for 13 years of Title Sponsorship.
