Acceptance as an exhibitor or vendor by St. Cloud Pride does not imply endorsement of or affiliation with the organization and/or individual. An exhibitor’s/vendor’s presence at the festival does not in itself constitute sponsorship of St. Cloud Pride. The view expressed by exhibitors and vendors are not necessarily those of St. Cloud Pride, its community partners or its corporate sponsors.

All sponsors must be reputable individuals and organizations whose image, product or services do not conflict with St. Cloud Pride’s mission or values. There is no obligation to accept any sponsorship offer. St. Cloud Pride’s long-term reputation and credibility takes precedent over short term monetary needs.

With each potential sponsorship the board should always raise the following questions:

Would this association be a good fit with St. Cloud Pride?
Does the sponsorship conflict with our values?
Does the sponsorship suit our overall strategy?
Will this sponsorship help us realize our mission?
Does this sponsorship create conflict within the community St. Cloud Pride serves?

If at any time a sponsorship comes into question St. Cloud Pride reserves the right to remove said sponsorship.

St. Cloud Pride reserves the right to remove you from the festival grounds for failure to follow these guidelines, the instructions of festival staff or the laws and regulations of the St. Cloud City Parks and Recreation Board, City of St. Cloud, State of Minnesota or any organizations under those governmental entities. This would occur without any refund or other compensation. Such removal may also result in cleaning fees and/or other costs associated with your business/organization being assessed. Your business/organization agrees to these conditions and to pay any such fee(s) that may be imposed as a condition of participating in the festival.
