Timeline:
*There is no deadline to apply. The application will be available until there are enough vendors to fill the season.
Review Process:
Applications are placed in order as they come in. Your deposit will be contributed to your overall vendor payment. You are NOT guaranteed the dates you select! UCI will contact you to let you know what dates you are confirmed for and what balance is due to UCI. Please provide valid phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses. If UCI is unable to contact you, we reserve the right to cancel your application. If vendors just send in payment without a completed application, errors can be made and UCI is not liable.
Vendors are only allowed to sell food & non-alcoholic beverages at the event. Food cannot be prepacked or store bought items that are resold. Please check with either Cleveland or Cuyahoga County Health Departments for proper licensing. Canned & bottled sodas, juices, water, tea and bags of snacks that are sold in addition to homemade food are acceptable. UCI reserves the right to cancel your application if the food items and tent set up do not meet event standards.
Insurance:
Provide UCI with an insurance certificate evidencing liability insurance coverage with a $1,000,000 combined single limit, naming UCI as additional insured and promising to indemnify UCI and to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations. Insurance is due by May 15 or you may forfeit your concert dates and/or vendor fees.
