About the application

GREETINGS FOOD VENDORS!
 
Welcome to the third annual Juneteenth Jubilee: Their Wildest Dreams! We are delighted to bring back this communiity celebration of history, unity, and Black American culture and contributions. Our goal is to provide a thoughtful, inclusive, educational, and joyfully entertaining event for all. 
 
 As you know, one of the most important elements of any event - especially a Cool Spring Downtown District (CSDD) event - is the food. We look forward to filling Festival Park with the enticing scents of your delicious treats!
 
Please note: The Jubilee is held in Festival Park, which does have power kiosks. However, all food trucks and carts should be prepared to supply your own (ideally) silent generator as a backup, just in case. 
 
Additionally - this event takes place in mid-June in North Carolina. All vendors should consider the possible temperatures, and prepare appropriately. 
 
***This is a rain/shine event - there will be no rain date***
