Terms & Conditions

This is an overview of the rules & procedures to help you prepare and determine if the Juneteenth Jubilee celebration is the best fit for you:
 
RETAIL/COMMERCIAL VENDOR:
  • Select this category for products/items that are NOT handmade or produced by you; items that are purchased by you for resell, pre-packaged, etc.
  • If you are a goods or service-oriented business, this is the appropriate category for your application.  
  • All Products be tagged with pricing and identifiable to the business.
  • You may only sell non-perishable food in this category if it is bottled, canned, or otherwise packaged and sealed. If you are selling cooked consumables, you must apply as a food vendor. 
LOCATION SPACES DURING JUNETEENTH JUBILEE:
Cool Spring Downtown District (CSDD) carefully curates the location of vendors throughout the event site, with a number of factors in consideration. CSDD may, from time to time, need to reassign locations as the event approaches. Requests for locations with exceptional reasoning will be considered but not guaranteed. Please Note: The Jubilee runs from 1:00PM - 9:00PM - please be prepared to staff your booth for the entirety of the event. 
 
EQUIPMENT:
CSDD does not provide tables or other equipment and does not guarantee access to a power source. Vendors that need electricity should be prepared to provide their own *quiet* generator. 
 
SOLICITATION, MATERIAL/ACTIVITY SUITABILITY & SAFETY: 
Festival safety is critical to all of us! It is important that we all work together to have a SAFE and FUN Juneteenth Jubilee celebration.

  • Vendors may not sell knives, guns, other weapons or item that simulate weapons, etc. The sale of fireworks or other combustibles is prohibited. 
  • Materials or activity promoting “adult” entertainment, or religious or partisan political advocacy or groups are prohibited.
