Vendors and Volunteers Needed for Citizens Day 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 13, 2024
St. Helens, Ore. - The City of St. Helens is inviting interested vendors and volunteers to participate in Citizens Day in the Park 2024. Citizens Day is an annual community event hosted by the St. Helens City Council at McCormick Park. The event is focused on strengthening community connections by encouraging people to turn off technology and enjoy a day of fun activities in St. Helens’ largest park. Activities are family-friendly, free, and designed for a wide-age range. This year, Citizens Day in the Park will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
At Citizens Day 2023, the City welcomed over 1,000 attendees and partnered with approximately 50 vendors who hosted booths at the event.
The 2024 vendor application process is now open. Pre-application is required to host a booth at the event. Space is limited, and vendors are encouraged to apply for a spot early. There is no vendor fee and concession fees are being waived for this event. To promote community resources and shopping local, space preference is being given to local non-profits and businesses. Each booth is being asked to host a no-cost family-friendly activity. To review additional vendor information and fill out an application form, visit the City’s Citizens Day event website at www.sthelensoregon.gov/community/page/citizens-day-park. If you have questions about vending at Citizens Day in the Park, please contact Vendor Coordinator Christina Sullivan at csullivan@sthelensoregon.gov.
Volunteers are a vital part of making Citizens Day a success. Volunteers are needed to assist with the event set up and clean up, serving food, and more. Any groups or individuals interested in volunteering should fill out an interest form at www.sthelensoregon.gov/community/page/citizens-day-park. If you have questions about volunteering, please contact St. Helens City Councilor Brandon Sundeen at bsundeen@sthelensoregon.gov.
A free barbecue lunch is hosted during Citizens Day thanks to the generous donations of many local businesses. If you are interested in donating to Citizens Day, please contact St. Helens City Councilor Jessica Chilton at jchilton@sthelensoregon.gov.
Citizens Day in the Park was first hosted in 2017. It was created by the St. Helens City Council to encourage people to meet other community members and enjoy the City’s largest park. The annual event includes a free barbecue lunch, live music, lawn games, vendors, and more.
