Setup

You must unload and park before setting up!

Park

Drive through the train shed. (slowly!)
Go past the parking lot.
Continue past ALL tents on your right and blocky white building on left.
Park in the large lot at the far end of the property.

View a parking map here. If you have a trailer see Mitch at check-in.

Rules and notes on setup

Tent against wall
Center between 12-foot marks
100 pounds minimum of weight per tent
Do not put anything in front of the tent
Keep front and sides clear of banners and displays
Do NOT block the path or your neighbor.

The ground is crushed granite, easy on the feet. It drains well BUT can hold moisture after a rain. On dry days, it can be dusty. I Recommend an outdoor floor mat or covering.

Breakdown

No early breakdowns.
No cars for at least 30 minutes after closing time.
Pack your booth down as much as possible towards the back of your booth.
Only then bring your vehicle to load out.
We exit the way you entered in the morning, back onto Sawyer St.
Clean up your space! Bags by my cans, big stuff take with you! I don’t want it.
DO NOT BLOCK THE ALLEY WHILE YOU LOAD OR UNLOAD
BE MINDFUL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS
