NEW this year: we no longer have access to the privately owned gravel parking lot adjacent to Elizabeth Peratrovich Plaza. For insurance and liability reasons, please DO NOT enter or use this lot in any manner.
Parking passes will NOT be issued this year. We will coordinate an unloading zone in the “Brickyard” Docks and Harbors parking lot which is between Marine Park and the Downtown Library, at 254 Marine Way (see photo).
Vendors can sign up for a 30-minute unloading time by clicking on this link Sign Up Genius. This online link will close for entries on May 7th.
Registering through this link will enable you to enter the Docks and Harbors “Brickyard” lot to park your car for 30 minutes so you can unload your gear on festival grounds. After your 30 minute time slot is ended, please move your car to another location.
The Main Street Parking Garage near the Transit Center is free on Saturdays, and the Marine Parking Garage (MPG) and all of downtown is free for parking on Saturdays and is first come, first serve.
There are 280 parking spaces in the MPG over 4 levels. We will also have a gate open on the bottom level of the MPG if vendors wish to park there and load gear through there.
We will have staff monitoring the “Brickyard” lot to ensure adherence to the 30-minute unloading time, and volunteers and carts will be available to help vendors move their gear.
The “X” in the photo indicates a vendor check in tent where volunteers will be stationed.
Youth expediters will be stationed here to assist vendors as a fundraising exercise, please tip your porters!
Vendors may also request assistance from our youth expediter team during the festival for tasks such as beverage runs or brief booth coverage during breaks.
This is a pilot program, and details on how to reach the expediter service will be sent to vendors by email ahead of the event.
Persons wishing to sign up to offer services as expediters are invited to register on this Sign Up Genius link.
