Set Up Instructions
Outdoor booths: Enter via Gate 3 from San Pedro. Enter the booth area on
Main Street from the south end. Proceed to your designated booth site. Park as close to your booth as possible, but do not park in a spot that is designated as the booth. If you bring more than one vehicle, you must unload one vehicle and move it to a designated parking area before parking the second vehicle at your booth site. To keep traffic moving so that other artists can access their sites, please unload your vehicle, then move it to your parking area before setting up your booth.

- DO NOT PUT STAKES INTO THE PAVEMENT or you will be responsible to pay for the damages.

Tent rentals cost $155 for the rental, delivery and set up of booth with roof, walls, and weights. If artists mention that they are with the NMACF, they will receive 10% off. Tents will be set up on Tuesday, June 24th so that the tent company is out of the way during artists’ set up.
