Booth vendors will need to provide a 6 to 8-foot table, a chair, table coverings and display items necessary for the duration of the sale. Vendors do not have to be present at all times but we recommend maximizing your presence for best results. No phone lines will be available. Electrical outlets are not available on the turf.

We encourage you to do a giveaway from your booth to entice customers to visit you as well as to aid you in collecting customer contact information.

You are solely responsible for the manning, operation, setup and breakdown of your booth.

The limited number of spaces are available on a first-come, first-reserved basis, and are not held until payment is complete.

There is no outside food or beverage allowed per venue policy. You may bring a reusable water bottle, there is a refill station near the bathrooms. There is also a restaurant onsite that will be available to you if you'd like.
