EVENT LOGISTICS

​

• Event set up/Load in instructions: Hang tight! Final instructions will be emailed out by July 19, 2024. Event hours are from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday, July 27.

​

• Electricity: We provide electricity as we are able, however, access is not guaranteed. If you do use our hook-up, the intent is for lighting only and the maximum allowable power for a marketplace booth is 250 watts (2.5 amps) at 120 volts. You are not permitted to bring your own generator, but if you do bring lights, you must bring a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord and a ground fault protector or multi-plug with its own circuit breaker. All lighting must be shielded or caged - no bare bulbs are allowed, which means no old-fashioned holiday lights, rope lights or icicle lights, quartz or fluorescent lights. If your booth needs a hook-up, please specify that in the application below.
   

• Exhibitor Requirements:

  • What you should bring: Vendors are expected to bring tables, chairs, a 10 x 10-foot fire-rated pop-up tent (or canopy or tarp) and a trash can. As described above, vendors are also expected to provide their own displays and all lights if needed.

  • What you may not bring: 

    • Charcoal grills or cooking devices​

    • Your own generator 

    • Devices to play music (including but not limited to a computer, radio, MP3, boombox, etc.). This is a music festival, so we've got the tunes handled

    • Water, pop, food or baked goods for sale - samples are only allowed for food vendors​​

    • Animals with the exception of medically necessary service dogs, which must remain on a leash at all times
