Know Before You Go

  • Hours: 10am-4pm each day.
  • Parking: For vendors, some spaces allow vehicles to remain behind the vendor space for the day; otherwise, vendors may use the nearby public parking area.

Tips & Advice

  • Vendors should prepay through the vendor application, because prepaying is the only way to guarantee a space at the fair.
  • Bring the confirmation email showing which fairs you paid for, so check-in on the morning of the fair goes quickly.
  • Bring a silent generator if you need power, since there is no electricity on the lawn at Field 8.
  • Pack your own food and drinks or use the food mart across the street, because no outside food trucks or stands are allowed.
