You’ve made the investment in Street Curling rinks, and now it’s time to make sure guests have fun! Have you ever considered running a bonspiel? (That’s the curling term for ‘tournament’, so add it to your vocabulary!) 

No matter what your setup, bonspiels are a great way to fill your venue with excited participants for a day or weekend. These are often fundraisers, themed events, club championships, or whatever you can come up with. 

Why run a bonspiel? Here are a few of the main reasons:

ROI – Charging a modest entry fee as well as the natural increase in food & beverage sales during your bonspiel will result in a major immediate return on investment.

Content – Just imagine the social media content you’ll be able to capture throughout the bonspiel. Dedicate a staff member to snap and record throughout the event and encourage participants to do the same. Use a dedicated event hashtag. Bonspiel participants will post social media content of themselves having fun with Street Curling at your venue.

New Customer Attraction – It can be a challenge to get new customers in the door, but adding a unique new reason can be the final push they need to pop by! An event such as a Street Curling bonspiel is an incredible opportunity to reach new customers and turn them into regulars. 

Partnerships – A bonspiel should leverage partnerships with other local businesses that could donate prizes or even enter their own team. Don’t be afraid to send out personal invitations to your bonspiel!
