    Parking

    Parking at the Festival is extremely limited. Your parking space may be within walking distance to your booth space. The Festival works very hard to organize parking in order to accommodate all vendors. All potential parking locations are distributed with consideration of booth location. One (1) parking permit is issued to all Artist Market vendors in a designated lot and space upon check-in including campers/RVs, trailers, and tow vehicles. Permits are issued for primary vehicle only--additional permit(s) required for any towed vehicles/trailers. Your parking permit must be displayed on the vehicle at all times for identification. Vendors incorrectly or illegally parked WILL be required to move their vehicles and may be ticketed. Additional parking passes for the RTC Lot can be purchased at the Festival Office. Vendors are asked to abide by all parking rules to avoid disruption during the Festival. A Vendor shuttle bus will be available.

    There are three (3) awards exclusively for the Artist Market. The Art Award, Heritage Award, and Westmoreland Award. All award winners will receive special recognition at the Festival and a $400 booth credit.
