After receiving passes, vendors will proceed to designated area for set-up. After unloading, all other vehicles (except food trucks) must be moved off field and parked in the designated vendor parking area (to be given by the director and security). 

Vendors must provide their own tables, chairs, and tarps. Only two tables are allowed per booth – each space is 10 square meters.
