We would like you to be a part of the East Jordan Freedom Festival 2026 Block Party by having a booth downtown on Spring Street/Harbor Parking Lot/Memorial Park. The event will take place on Friday, June 26, 2026 from 6:00 PM – 9:30 PM. The festival committee opens this night up for our local non-profit organizations, clubs, groups and churches at no cost. We invite you to have a food booth, set up a game or an activity as a way to generate some extra money for your organization. The theme of the 2026 Freedom Festival is “Celebrating Freedom Since 1776!”.

We ask that you have your idea or menu pre-approved so that we do not have more than one group doing the same game or selling the same items. If you choose to do food, please just choose one main item (we will only allow one group to sell that main item). You may sell your main item as part of a plate or basket dinner. Example: You may sell a Hot Dog with Chips & a pickle. Only one group will be allowed to sell Hot Dogs. Main food items and games will be approved on a first come first serve basis.

Remember you will need to provide everything for your space, from the table, chairs, canopy, condiments, table wear and table covering to any displays. Also, if you choose to do a food booth your organization will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate license from the State of Michigan. If you have any questions about the license, you can contact the Department of Health at 231-547-6523 and select the prompt for environmental health.

Your booth must be manned at all times. The East Jordan Freedom Festival, the City of East Jordan or the Festival Committee Members will NOT be responsible for your money, or your booth.

Enclosed is the Block Party 2026 Registration form that needs to be filled out. You can mail the form back to the East Jordan Freedom Festival at the address above or drop off at the East Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce or fill out the application online at www.eastjordanfreedomfestival.org/block-party. Also, with the registration form the festival needs your organizations Certificate of Liability Insurance that covers the dates of the festival.
