No business or person acting on behalf of a business is permitted to solicit to spectators of this event within the confines of Clement Park without a vendor permit issued by Foothills Park & Recreation District. Anyone doing so without a permit specific for Red, White & You will be asked to leave by a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Officer.

NEW!!  NEW!!  NEW!!
The primary area where the event takes place in Clement Park is undergoing a face lift with substantial renovations!  There will be wider concrete sidewalks, an enlarged playground, new grass, new irrigation and enhancements around the Amphitheater.  Given these renovations and a need to expand the event, the event will have a new look – a new layout. New in 2019, the Kids Area will be enlarged and relocated to the lower soccer field near Bowles Avenue and the Food Court will be in the parking lot near the core event area.

NEW FOOD COURTS!!
With the park renovations, Clement Park has established new park rules that will be in effect for Red White & You.
NO VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE GRASS!!  This will be strictly enforced from set-up to tear down.  In an effort to accommodate the new rule and food vendor needs (such as load-in accessibility) there will be two food courts.  The main primary food court will be located in the parking lot between the core event area and the new Kids Area.  Food vendors will have direct access to their booth space via their vehicles for set-up and tear down.  Those who operate as a food truck or trailer, or have trailered grills will be able to drive and park those items direct into their booths.  Another area, with a very limited number of food vendor spaces, will be located on concrete sidewalks near the core event area.

Booth Information
Each food vendor will be assigned a booth – approximately 15’ x 15’ space.  The main primary parking lot Food Court is located on asphalt.  The other Food Court is located on concrete sidewalk.  All spaces will be pre-assigned.  The sidewalk food vendor spaces will be assigned to those who have very simple operations and take up minimal space. Food vendors are to provide their own booth and setup equipment, etc.  If you require generator use, you must order it in advance with this application.  We ask that your booth looks professional with quality signage (above 6’ off the ground) and is of visually pleasing appearance.  Come prepared for all types of weather.  This event is outdoors and will take place rain or shine.  Please bring rain covers and tie downs for your booth.
