Show Day At A Glance
Load-In

The bar closes at 1:00 AM, so tables can't be set until morning. Our host Gray Shuler will be on hand to assist — find Charlie or Jason Montgomery when you arrive and we'll get you to your space.

Show Opens
10:00 AM
3 hours to set up

Doors open to the public at 10. Get loaded in, set your table, and get ready for a great crowd — the response to the advertising has been very high!

Breakdown
4:00 PM
Sharp

We have to start breaking down at 4:00 — the brewery needs the room ready for dinner traffic.

Find Your Spot

Spots 1–14 are downstairs on the main floor; spots US 1–US 13 are upstairs. Most returning vendors are in the same space as last show, but check to be sure. We have great vendors on the 2nd floor — let's all help send traffic up there!

The Details
Tables

Table Options

  • Sturdy 3×3 center-post tables — 3 or 4 per space, which usually works fine for all
  • Folding tables on hand
  • Or bring your own — recommended if you have them, just to be sure you have what you need
Parking & Load-In

Getting In & Parked

  • On-street parallel parking on both sides of the building
  • The alley behind the building (from W. Liberty St and South Sumter St) leads to the rear entrance
  • Don't block the alley — use it only if you can load in within 10 minutes
  • Move your vehicle to the parking lot once load-in is complete
