Cash slows lines, and old systems frustrate both sides. Mobile payment innovations that make festival sales easier facilitate the process for both the visitors and the vendors. The future of festival sales is no longer in the distance. It is right here, ready for vendors who act.

 Modified June 9, 2025Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. President Biden signed it into law to honor the day as a national holiday; which many states already recognized as such. "Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today." - Juneteenth.com |
