2. Set up begins at 6:00 am on Saturday, February 10, 2024 and we would like everyone to be ready by 10:00 am. All vendors should display their vehicle parking/setup pass on their vehicle. Quickly unload, move vehicle to vendor parking area, then return to set-up your booth (please do not: unload, set up, then move vehicle!)

4. Prior to the event you will need to pick up vendor pass that must be displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle to enter into the site. Your booth number will be on your actual booth. Only one vendor pass per vendor vehicle If you require more please bring that up to our attention.


5. ALL TRASH, PAPERS OR BOXES MUST BE PLACED IN A DUMPSTER. Please reference an event map that evening for location of dumpsters. We will have on staff a cleaning crew to provide festival trash removal but please do your part and help keep the park clean. Do not dump grease, dirty waste water or hot coals into the streets. There will be a designated “Grey Water” container for all wastewater or grease. It is a State and Federal violation to dump any wastewater or grease into any municipal storm drain. Please review the map for the proper location.

All locations must contain 1) receptacle with clean water, 1) receptacle with water and soap, and 1) receptacle with water and bleach stated by the Health Dept.
