Please park in the main parking lot and check in at the Vendor Hospitality table inside the main entrance to the Imperial Centre upon arrival. You will receive your vendor number and a map that shows your assigned space. After you have checked in and received your space number, you may move your car to the front circle and unload all of your items at the curb. A limited number of rolling carts and volunteers will be available to assist in moving items to your assigned spot. Once your car is unloaded, please park and allow the next vendor to unload at the curb.
If you requested a table, it will be set up in your vendor location. All vendor spots include one chair. Extra chairs will be available on a first-come, first serve basis. If you want to be certain to have an extra chair, please bring your own.
