• EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY (UPDATED): The festival is a community fundraising event run by a nonprofit organization. Booth fees go directly to advertising and operations for the event. The event will only be cancelled if the safety of the vendors and participants is deemed at risk due to inclement weather, acts of God, or any other circumstances deemed necessary by Springtime Tallahassee or government officials/entities. We have decided to secure event cancellation insurance for this year’s event should the Jubilee in the Park be cancelled due to inclement weather; specified as total accumulation of .50” or greater rainfall between 9am-4pm and/or lightning at a distance that is deemed unsafe. This would allow us to refund all applicable vendors fees. Please note that refunds will only be disbursed if/when the policy claim has been processed and approved after meeting the requirements of the insurance policy.
