Some spaces allow vendors to park their vehicle at their space for the entire day.

If this is important to you, we recommend you arrive as early as possible on the days and hours shown above.

In most cases we do not pre-assign vendor spaces. 

Space is assigned when you arrive based on availability and your acceptance of the space.

On Friday afternoon or Saturday or Sunday a staff member will greet you and direct you to available space.
