Opening Weekend Logistics

Ready or not, here we come!

Opening Weekend is just around the corner, and it’s going to be a busy weekend with lots of energy and enthusiastic crowds. To help the load-in process go smoothly, please review the following details.

Also, note that Season Pass payments are due. Failure to make payments by Friday April 28 will result in cancellation of your reserved booth position, and loss of guaranteed participation. Contact the Help Desk if you need to make special arrangements; we understand that life gets complicated, and can deal with those situations on a case-by case basis.

Friday, April 28, 2023 - SETUP

  • vendor load-in: 1pm until 7pm
  • new vendor orientation: 5pm
  • do not arrive before 1pm; you will be turned away. Late arrival is also discouraged, as our overnight security will escort you off-premise.
  • check in at front desk, confirm your booth location, and park/unload/setup
  • only Season Pass vendors may drive into the pavilion
  • Season Pass holders: check-in, get your 2023 Parking Pass then drive-in from the front entrance of pavilion
  • reminder: drive-in will end once venue becomes sufficiently congested that vehicles are deemed unsafe by managers.

Saturday, April 29, 2023 - Opening Saturday

  • vendor access: 8am
  • no vendor drive-in available; park and unload/setup only
  • do not arrive prior to 8am; you will not be able to setup until our 8am staff can confirm your booth placement.
  • all vehicles must be clear of public spaces by 9am
  • event hours: 10am-5pm
  • reminder: daily sales drops

Sunday, April 30, 2023 - Opening Sunday

  • vendor access: 8am
  • no vendor drive-in available; park and unload/setup only
  • do not arrive prior to 8am; you will not be able to setup until our 8am staff can confirm your booth placement.
  • all vehicles must be clear of public spaces by 9am
  • event hours: 11am-5pm
  • vehicle load-out: 5:30pm onto street; 6pm into pavilion

Note that we linger later on Opening Sunday than is our normal practice… last year, things cleared out fairly smoothly so we broke down a bit sooner. Bottom line: don’t run your customers off, and expect a one-hour delay on our breakdown process explained here.

Wow we are ready…or not, it’s time. Thanks every question answered.
Woohoo

A small logistical update: I anticipate that pavilion drive-in ability will end about 4pm on Friday; at that time, we will need to begin setup of the stage which will block the rear exit.

There will be plenty of space and time to park adjacent to the pavilion, and load-in, even after 4pm. Crowds won’t arrive until Saturday!

Hello,

First time vendor here! Are we required to load in on Friday? Or can we wait until Saturday morning if we don’t have extensive setup?

Thanks!

Some vendors will load in on Saturday; vendor access begins no earlier than 8am, and the timelines are much more condensed – vehicles need to be clear by 9am .

Are we registering for load-in slots on Friday or just winging it?

No slots; arrive during the window as it suits you.

Sounds good. I’ll try to be there early to add some entertainment to the mix.

Hi Brooke,

You guys are not “vendors”, but rather sponsors. This forum applies to vendors. You should have received separate information regarding your arrival on Saturday morning. If you still have questions please email be directly. Melissa@ChattanoogaMarket.com Thank you!

Hey Chris, i have an event Friday night and will have to load in early saturday morning. Ill be there bw 830 and 9 a.m. i hope this wont be a problem

Hey there! We’ve done the Holiday Market but not the First Pavillion. We’re running late; are we required to do the new vendor orientation if we’ve done this other market? We’re hurrying but don’t know protocol there. Thanks for your help.
