A large portion of the property is on a hill (no more than 5% grade) and vendors should be prepared to set up on a slight incline. If you are on a Pathway or Lawn spot, please bring something to level your table and displays.

Due to limited road access, vendor must park in designated load-in areas and WALK all equipment/supplies to their assigned vending locations. All vendor spots are within 200ft of a loading area and accessible by no-step walkways or even lawn. We highly recommend bringing dollys or hand-trucks for moving your items.
