Once you are approved you will be sent an invoice for your space fee, and all fees must be paid by the invoice due date to avoid forfeiting your space, which will be given to another vendor.
Saturday Setup
We strongly recommend that vendors set up on Saturday, as show day tends to be quite hectic. Vendors with larger or more complex setups, such as trailers or large trucks, are especially encouraged to arrive on Saturday to ensure a smooth setup process.
Setup hours on Saturday are from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Upon arrival, please contact us so we can arrange for an escort onto the premises. This process helps maintain safety and organization as we prepare for the event.
Sunday Setup (Day of Show)
For day-of-show setups, vendors must arrive between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM. If you plan to arrive during this window, it is essential to unload your items quickly, park your vehicle behind your designated space, and be fully set up and show-ready by 10:00 AM when the event opens. If you arrive outside of these hours you will not be allowed to setup in the event due to safety regulations and you will forfeit your space fee.
Given the limited time available for day-of-show setup, we strongly recommend planning to arrive and set up on the Saturday prior to the show. This ensures a smoother and less rushed experience for everyone involved.
As the event takes place at an active airfield, it is crucial that you dismantle your setup promptly after the show concludes at 4:00 PM. All vendors must be fully packed up and off the airfield by 6:00 PM.
Additionally, it is essential that you leave your space clean and free of any trash or supplies. Any debris left behind poses a safety risk for aircraft operations and will result in the vendor being prohibited from participating in future events. Your cooperation in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the airfield is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding!
You will only be provided the space for your activation.
Please be aware that this event can be very windy. It is paramount that you bring weighted materials to secure your booth, signage, and any other loose items (Please note that the sandbags that are sold with many tents may not be enough to weigh your tent down, we recommend either staking the tents or looking for large sandbags or cinderblocks.)
You are allowed to put up signage, tables and chairs but we ask that you try to stay within your space and be courteous to your surrounding vendors.
For any specific questions not outlined in here please either
