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:
 
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, chairs, 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.
  • Electrical cords must be heavy duty outdoor cords with no visible signs of damage,  and covered to avoid any tripping hazards. Appliances must be in excellent operating condition. Portable generators must be *quiet* for collective sound levels during the event. 
  • Hate speech, physical actions without consent, excessive beligerence, or violence will not be tolerated and is subject to law enforcement. 
  • CSDD is not responsible or liable for the failure of any vendor to comply with these safety requirements, and it reserves the right to take any action, up to and including shutting down a vendor’s operation for the remainder of the day for failure to comply. No refunds will be given in these instances.
