1. Newburyport Pride requests that each Vendor or Non-profit organization have one person designated as the “festival contact”. They are responsible for working with the Festival Committee on their group’s setup and overseeing the participation of their group. 2. You are strongly encouraged to use Signs/Banners/Logos for your group; however, we ask that you please be respectful – no messages of hate or shame towards peoples of different views, no offensive or adult language, and try to keep messaging positive and uplifting. 3. Remember, this is an all-ages, family-friendly event. Please plan to dress and act accordingly. 4. Newburyport Pride is committed to creating a space that supports equal access and nondiscrimination for all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, marital status, national origin, veteran status, or disability. Please partner with us to consider the design of your space and your interaction with participants to be as inclusive as possible including, but not limited to, avoiding gendering others, respecting people’s names and pronouns, and avoiding harmful, stereotyping, and othering language of any kind. 5. Please keep your booth within the allotted 12’ x 12’ space. Your tent can be no larger than 10' x 10'. You are prohibited from using spikes or anything that penetrates the ground. Be respectful of other vendors’ booths. Please also be aware that the Veteran’s Memorial area in Brown Square is off-limits for the Pride Festival and should be respected. 6.
