Support local businesses during the event by visiting independent galleries, bistros, restaurants, attractions and shops full of unique goods and gifts. What are volunteer responsibilities during 4th Friday?

Please make sure to bring your paperwork or email them to event organizer before the event.  For any questions regarding the 4th Friday event, please call the Cool Spring Downtown District at 910.223.1089 or email info@coolspringfay.org.

Terms & Conditions

Vendor Application Terms & Conditions: The Cool Spring Downtown District has the right to refuse entry and dismiss a volunteer for any 4th Friday event.     Volunteer Age Requirements: The minimum age required to be a volunteer at Cool Spring Downtown District’s event is 16. Children under the age of 18 participating in the 4th Friday should be always supervised by an adult onsite.  Volunteer Attendance: All volunteers are required to volunteer at their designated time. If you cannot make the 4th Friday event, please let the Cool Spring Downtown District staff know as soon as possible by phone (910) 223-1089 or email info@coolspringfay.org. Volunteer Roles: Cool Spring Downtown District (CSDD) may, from time to time, be required to reassign volunteer roles.  Volunteer Restrictions: The organizer of the 4th Friday event in Downtown Fayetteville is Cool Spring Downtown District, a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and not the City of Fayetteville or any other state actor.  We certainly honor and respect all political and religious affiliations, but, as a community non-profit organization dedicated to supporting artistic, cultural, civic, and commercial activity in downtown Fayetteville, we have determined, and it is entirely within our purview to do so, that, in order to remain a place that is welcoming to all, we must remain neutral on political and religious matters.  For us, that means no partisan political or religious groups will be approved to table at our events. This is a policy applied equally to all political and religious groups.  Our purpose for having these booths, like the purpose of the 4th Friday event in general, is to promote downtown Fayetteville’s dynamic arts and entertainment district while supporting local independent galleries, bistros, artisans, shops, and the like.  It is a secular event designed to foster civic pride and awareness, not to provide an advocacy forum for those who wish to put their message, whether political, religious, ideological, or otherwise, before the public.  These issues, as important as they may be, simply are not consistent with the purpose of 4th Fridays.  For these reasons, our table/booth spaces, which are in high demand, are reserved for vendors from sectors such as the arts, entertainment, food, etc. that align with the nature of the event.     Additional Terms & Conditions: -       Liability & Damages: Cool Spring Downtown District, its volunteers, the City of Fayetteville, or its representatives, and/or employees are not responsible for any damages arising out of the sales of my products or from my presence during 4th Friday. Vendors agree to sell only those items approved by the Cool Spring Downtown District as noted.   -       Inclement Weather: 4th Friday is a rain-or-shine event. If the event is not canceled by Cool Spring Downtown District, an absence will be counted against you. Every effort will be made by the Cool Spring Downtown District staff to host the 4th Friday event. The Cool Spring Downtown District staff will closely monitor weather conditions before and during events.  -       Public Realm: For applicants who are not selected as vendors, you are welcome to participate in the event as an attendee, with the ability to hand out your literature or promotional materials along the sidewalks downtown or on any other public way (outside of our reserved vendor and performance areas) during the event, and discuss your views with patrons of the 4th Friday event.
