We will email this information again, closer to the market date.

When (market hours):

Saturday, May 16th: 12-8 pm

Sunday, May 17th: 12-6 pm

Where:

Earl Giles Restaurant and Distillery parking lot

1325 Quincy St. NE #100, Minneapolis

Load in as early as 8:00 am Saturday morning. Please unload and move your car out of the market lot by 10:30 am at the latest.

The city will be closing off the streets surrounding the lot:

Saturday: 11 AM-8 PM

Sunday: 11 AM-6 PM

Please be set up and ready to go by 11:45. We cannot encourage enough to load in early since the area will become busy and parking will get tougher as it gets closer to 11:00. If you are worried about being set up too early- you could always walk to Vivir for a coffee or breakfast. NEMAA is hosting a different market INSIDE Quincy Hall. Please know our market is outside to avoid load in confusion.

Once you pull in, we will help you find your spot number, which will be in chalk. Park by your spot, unload your car, then move your car somewhere off the lot, AND THEN continue to set up your booth. There is a pay lot across the street which will probably fill up fast - so the sooner you get there the better, or there is parking on public streets around the area. Booth spots will be assigned closer to the date.

Booths

Booth spaces will be approximately 10' x 10'. A vendor map will be sent out with your booth number attached. Because this event is outdoors, rain or shine, 10' x 10' tents are mandatory. Due to the potential wind at this venue, each tent leg must have a minimum of 20 lbs of weight (40lbs is recommended) either by sandbags, PVC pipe, dumbbells or water buckets.

Please bring weights or secure displays for any lightweight merchandise. It's also helpful to bring bungee cords and rope in case of wind. Tables or tents will not be provided, so please bring your own.

Load-out

Do not pack up or load out of your booth earlier than 8:00 pm on Saturday or 6:00 pm on Sunday. Please leave your vendor space as clean as you found it. Do not leave any of your sandbags, broken mirrors, hangers, price tags, empty cups or plates behind in your space- there is a dumpster provided on site for this reason. Let's be respectful of Earl Giles so they don't have to clean up after us.

Parking

As we mentioned above, the earlier you load in, the easier it will be to find street parking. There is a pay lot across from the Highlight Center down the street as well, but we're not sure how much they will be charging that weekend, it was around $10-$20 last year. The last few years of you parked your car in that lot before a parking attendant showed up, parking was free.

Food and Drink

Each vendor will receive a lanyard and a ticket that is good for 1 drink from Earl Giles each day. You are also more than welcome to bring your own snacks/food to keep in your tent.

Other important things to note:

-Please come prepared for the weather. Bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen.

-We will provide two changing tents with mirrors for all customers to use. The bathrooms for Earl Giles are in the shared hallway by Quincy Hall, so it's quite a walk to get to them. Portable bathrooms with hand washing stations will be available near the entrance of the lot.

-Once the market starts, there will be 3 entry and one exit points for pedestrians.
