August 27, 2022 Open to the public 5:00 – 10:00 p.m.
We anticipate approximately 4,000 visitors based on past years’ attendance
Location: 4580 South 2300 East Holladay, Utah 84117
Vendor Set-Up Time: Arts vendors will be located on the grass and may begin setting up at 1:00 pm and must be finished by 4:45 PM. (No set ups after 3:00 PM.) Food vendors will be located in the northwest parking lot and may check in between 4:00 – 5:00 pm.
Arts vendors will be pre-assigned a specific booth site. Food trucks are on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a small venue and there aren’t really any “bad” spots, so don’t worry! We will have a volunteer escort you to your booth/food truck location after you check in.
Vendor Load-Out: 10:00 pm – 11:30 pm. All vendors must be off the property by 11:30 pm. Arts vendors may leave early, but there cannot be any vehicles on the grass before 10:00 pm when the concert crowd is off the field and it is safe to drive in that area. Food trucks may not leave until the exit is opened at 10:00 pm.
Vendor Information
- Each arts vendor space is 11 feet x 11 feet and will be marked on the grass.
- You must provide your own tables, chairs, tents, shade umbrellas, and items to sell. Tents and umbrellas are optional, but highly encouraged due to the heat. The maximum tent size allowed will be 10'x10'. It is required that all tents and large umbrellas be weighted down on all four corners with 40 lbs per corner (you can use sandbags, buckets of sand, etc.). Weights must be fastened to EACH leg of the tent with zip ties or secure fasteners. ALL unsecured tents and large umbrellas will be immediately removed as per the Fire Department. This is for safety reasons for vendors and the public.
