Load-in Logistics

LOAD-IN TIMES
Vendor Load-in will start at 2PM and all vendors must be set up by 3:45PM. As load-in parking space is limited, load-in will be tiered by booth location; please see below for your assigned load-in window.

2PM - 2:45PM | Booths 1-27
2:45PM - 3:30PM | Booths 28-53, Fashion Trucks, Food Trucks

LOAD-IN INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure vendor and pedestrian safety, cars will not be permitted on the walkway, so you will not be able to drive up to your booth space to unload. There will be load-in spaces reserved on Platte St and behind the buildings along the river for you to cart or carry in your product and supplies a short distance to your booth space (see maps below).

Fashion Trucks and Booths 15-27 and 45-53 should enter the site from the alley indicated by the YELLOW arrow.
Booths 1-14 and 28-44 should enter the site from the south (15th St) as indicated by the RED arrow.

Please pull up along the curb or other designated load-in space and check in with a Market Coordinator when you arrive as booth assignments are subject to change. Once you have checked in, please completely unload your car with product at supplies, then proceed to park your vehicle before setting up. No tents may be set up until your vehicle has been moved from the vendor area.

Please be aware of your surroundings and do not unload in the thoroughfare/driveway/other vendor spaces. Please remember to take deep breaths and be kind and courteous to your fellow vendors during the load-in process!

BOOTH ASSIGNMENTS
Additional load-in instructions and Booth Assignments can be found HERE. This link will be the same for all dates of the event and updated weekly 5-7 days before each market date. Please be sure you have the correct date tab selected on the sheet, as the previous week’s assignments may still be live. The most up-to-date maps can be found on the Vendor Assignments sheet. Please note that you will not receive an additional Vendor Assignments notification email. All communications will be highlighted on this page directly. You can toggle the date in the top left corner to view your specific booth assignment for that date.

Booth assignments are subject to change, so please check in with a vendor coordinator during load-in to make sure you are in the right spot.

We understand that booth placement is important to the success of your market; however, you ultimately drive the success of your booth by having engaging and exciting items and set up, which draw the crowds to your booth space. Events such as Night BAZAAR are made special by having a colorful and unique collection of vendors such as yourself!

PARKING
There are several parking garages nearby, including Platte 15 Parking, One Platte Garage and 1700 Platte Garage. Street parking is limited in the surrounding neighborhood, but access to the Highlands Bridge allows for expanded options in the Downtown and LoHi neighborhoods. ParkChirp is a great resource for parking in the area.

It is the authority of Gum Pop Presents to close a market early or open a market late due to severe or inclement weather.

Vendors are expected to participate in their scheduled market unless otherwise notified. Gum Pop Presents monitors the forecast closely on market days and will always make decisions based on what's best for both vendors and attendees. Should Gum Pop Presents cancel a market due to weather, all participating vendors on that scheduled date will receive a refund for their per-date registration fee by the following Tuesday.

1) Prepare for the market as you always do and arrive at the site during scheduled load-in hours. Load-in may be delayed when there is rain in the forecast, but we will notify vendors in those instances. Management will advise on setup options when you arrive.

2) Vendors may wait it out and set up late but must notify the Gum Pop market coordinator via the Vendor Hotline.

3) Vendors may opt out of the market, but will not receive a Vendor Credit and will be subject to the $25 Late Cancellation Fee. Vendors must notify Gum Pop via the Vendor Hotline. Vendors that do not notify Gum Pop of their cancelation will be charged a $75 No Show Fee.
