VENDORS
If you're a VENDOR or SPONSOR and you want to have a presence or sell something at the 17th Annual House Music Reunion/Old Skool Picnic, you need to contact us IMMEDIATELY. There will be no setting up of tables without permission and a VENDOR DONATION at this year's Reunion. This will strictly be enforced. There will be secured areas set up for tables and chairs. We are asking for VENDOR DONATIONS if you publicize or sell your merchandise.
Because we have grown from our humble beginnings to epic proportions (0ver 7,000 people TESTIFIED last year), the city of Chicago has asked us to move our location a few blocks south to an area with free University of Chicago parking for a few hundred cars just across the street (south) from the Picnic site. In addition, there is ample street parking west of Stoney Island Avenue on both 59th Street and 60th Street.
Special thanks to Alderman Leslie Hairston for spearheading our quest to bring you the best venue for this year's and future year's Old Skool/House Music Reunion Picnic.
