Fast Facts for Food Vendors

Vendors are encouraged to set up their food truck or trailer on Saturday, July 27. Alumni representatives will be on-site Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to assist you. If you cannot set up on Saturday, we require your unit to be set by 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. You will only have access to set up on the listed days and times above, as there are gates to the property that will lock after these hours. 

• Dropping a vehicle before Saturday, July 27 to "save" your location is prohibited. Vendors will be placed in the order in which they arrive on-site with their vending units. Please be courteous to fellow vendors, artists and volunteers by following our guidelines.
