Limited weekend parking will be available for a fee at the Convention Center garage. There are also several lots on nearby blocks where you can pay to park, as well as some long-term metered parking in the area. The Downtown Spokane Partnership has developed a map showing parking in the downtown area that you can view at http://www.downtownspokane.net/parking-where.

6. Indemnification and Proof of Insurance

Each exhibitor will be required to hold the Lilac Bloomsday Association, its agents, sponsors and volunteers, the City of Spokane, and the Spokane Public Facilities District harmless from any claims arising from its activities and to provide proof of insurance for its activities. Insurance must be obtained at the exhibitor’s expense for bodily injury and property damage liability insurance written on an occurrence form with combined bodily injury and property damage limits in an amount no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Proof of insurance is to be provided to the Lilac Bloomsday Association along with the signed Bloomsday Trade Show 2024 Exhibitor Contract as set forth in paragraph 1 above.

7. Sample Distribution

Product literature and product samples may be distributed from exhibitor booths. Food samples may not exceed one (1) ounce and beverage samples may not exceed two (2) fluid ounces. These sampling restrictions do not apply to Bloomsday Major Sponsors. Food and beverage samples must be approved by the Spokane County Health District at (509) 324-1560, ext. 2. Exhibitor acknowledges that distribution of food products or beverages also requires submission of the Product Sampling Agreement to the Spokane Convention Center. The Spokane Convention Center can be contacted directly at (509) 279-7000. No exhibitors may stand in or utilize aisles or lobby areas for the sale or distribution of products, literature or samples. The Lilac Bloomsday Association also requires exhibitors to use compostable cups, plates, utensils and/or packaging for product sampling.

8. Compliance with Laws

Each exhibitor will agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations including all fire codes, health regulations, and COVID-19 requirements. Any use of tents or awnings is prohibited due to fire regulations, unless written permission is secured from the Spokane Fire Department prior to move-in.

9. Courtesy

Exhibitors are expected to respect the rights of other exhibitors. Exhibitors are required to stay within the boundaries of the booth, and may not use aisles or utilize space over dividing walls into another exhibitor’s area for any purpose, including demonstrating equipment or gear outside the booth. Bloomsday has the right to prohibit signs, lights, sounds, smells or activities that interfere with other exhibitors. In addition, because wheels of chance (spinning wheels) generate lines that may block other booths, written permission to use these wheels must be secured from the Lilac Bloomsday Association prior to the Bloomsday Trade Show.

10. Refusal of Space

The Lilac Bloomsday Association reserves the right to deny Bloomsday Trade Show booth space to any exhibitor whose products, services or other use of booth space is not, in the Lilac Bloomsday Association’s sole opinion and judgment, fundamentally related to running, health, fitness or community service, or which is not in keeping with the family-oriented nature of Bloomsday.
