2025 Juneteenth Celebration Vendor Application

Welcome to the annual City of McKinney Juneteenth Celebration! Thank you for your services and participation in this event. You are a major part of our success!

This event is free and open to the public.

This event's purpose is to bring McKinney residents together to commemorate the June 19, 1865, emancipation of enslaved people across Texas. We want to take this opportunity to engage with residents and raise their awareness of the various resources provided throughout the city of McKinney.

Our goal is to provide vendors with exposure to their target audience, and McKinney's Juneteenth Celebration will allow you to connect with them personally. Your investment in McKinney's Juneteenth Celebration helps bring this historic event to the residents of McKinney.

By registering as a vendor, we will work collectively to bring success to this event. You will be provided with visual content to share on your social media outlets to increase your support at this year's event.

Thank you in advance for supporting the 2025 Juneteenth Celebration!
