City of Dublin Special Events Vendor Policv
Vendors and exhibitors shall acknowledge or comply with the following policies for all City of Dublin
Special Events (including, but not limited to, the St. Patrick's Day Festival, Day on the Glen Festival,
Outdoor Movie Nights, Father's Day Picnic, Summer Concert Series, and Eggstravaganza):
. To ensure variety, to protect sponsorship agreements and endorsements, and to allow for
availability of certain products, services or advertising, the City reserves the right to accept or reject
vendor applications.
. All vendors and exhibitors must conduct themselves in a professional manner. Any unruly
behavior, use of foul language to festival patrons or personnel, or refusal to follow rules,
regulations or staff direction, will be considered grounds for expulsion from the event. Any vendor
or exhibitor engaging in these behaviors will not be invited to return to subsequent events.
. No walkway solicitation is allowed. Staff/personnel and property must remain within designated
booth space.
. No handwritten signs.
. Signage must be affixed to booth or canopy - nothing shall be nailed, stapled, taped or otherwise
affixed to City or Park property.
. Vendors, exhibitors, and staff shall strictly obey all pertinent Fire Codes, laws, ordinances and
regulations pertaining to health, fire prevention and public safety.
. Adult- Themed Booths. The City of Dublin's Special Events are designed for and attended by
persons all ages. Through its Special Events the City wishes to promote, among other things,
family togetherness, entertainment, community involvement, and healthy child development. The
City finds that exposure to certain adult content is harmful to children, or creates a substantial risk
of harm to children. These potentially harmful effects may also result in families declining to attend
Dublin Special Events. Therefore, the City finds it is in the best interest of its Special Events to
limit children's exposure to adult content at the festivals. Since the nature and layout of the
festivals is such that parental ability to control inappropriate viewing of adult materials by children is
very limited, and because the City wants to protect children from harmful effects of viewing adult
materials and to preserve the family-oriented nature of the Special Events, the City has determined
that booths featuring the following shall be prohibited at City of Dublin Special Events:
o sexual pictures, services, products, or other materials that would be found at a sex-
oriented bookstore, as that term is defined in Chapter 8.08 of the Dublin Municipal
Code
o tobacco products and paraphernalia
o firearms or weapons, including toys that simulate real firearms or other weapons
o drug paraphernalia, including pipes, water pipes, and other ingestion devices
commonly associated with illegal drugs
