When

Saturday, May 17th: 12-8 pm

Sunday, May 18th: 12-6 pm

Where

Earl Giles Restaurant and Distillery parking lot

1325 Quincy St. NE #100, Minneapolis

Load-in

As early as 8:45 Saturday morning

The city will be closing off the streets surrounding the lot:

Saturday: 11 AM-8 PM

Sunday: 11 AM-6 PM

You can load in as early as 8:45 am. Please be set up and ready to go by 11:45. We cannot encourage enough to load in early since the area will become busy and parking will get tougher as it gets closer to 11:00. If you are worried about being set up too early- you could always walk to Vivir for a coffee or breakfast.

There will be one entrance into the parking lot off of Quincy St. Once you pull in, one of us will help you find your spot number, which will be in chalk. Park by your spot, unload your car, then move your car somewhere off the lot, AND THEN continue to set up your booth. There is a pay lot across the street which will probably fill up fast - so the sooner you get there the better, or there is parking on public streets around the area.

**This means you need to unload your car and move it out of the lot/find parking by 11:00 am on Saturday**

Please be completely set up by 11:45. There is a good chance we will have a crowd already walking around by then so feel free to start selling if you are ready. Please be patient as load in and load out is sometimes a bit of a waiting game. NEEMA is hosting a different market will be INSIDE Quincy Hall. Please know our market is outside to avoid load in confusion.

Booths

Booth spaces will be approximately 10' x 10'. A vendor map will be sent out with your booth number attached. Because this event is outdoors, rain or shine, 10' x 10' tents are mandatory. Due to the potential wind at this venue, each tent leg must have a minimum of 20 lbs of weight (40lbs is recommended) either by sandbags, PVC pipe, dumbbells or water buckets.

Please bring weights or secure displays for any lightweight merchandise. It's also helpful to bring bungee cords and rope in case of wind. Tables or tents will not be provided, so please bring your own.

Overnight Storage

Earl Giles is providing a space (in the same building as Earl Giles, right behind the restaurant) for vendors to store inventory overnight. I would suggest bringing a foldable wagon or some sort of dollie to transport your things from the parking lot to the storage room, as it is about a 5 minute walk. The storage room will be locked and secured all night. All items must be loaded in the storage room no later than 9:30 pm Saturday evening.

Last year, most vendors left their tents in the parking lot overnight, but just lowered them. Please know this will be at your own risk, and we are not responsible for any damaged tents.

Load-out

Do not load out your booth earlier than 6 pm on Sunday. Please leave your vendor space as clean as you found it. Do not leave any of your sandbags, broken mirrors, hangers, price tags, empty cups or plates behind in your space- there is a dumpster provided on site for this reason. Let's be respectful of Earl Giles so they don't have to to clean up after us.

Parking

As we mentioned above, the earlier you load in, the easier it will be to find street parking. There is a pay lot across from Buch and the Highlight Center down the street as well, but we're not sure how much they will be charging that weekend, it was around $10 last year. The last few years of you parked your car in that lot before a parking attendant showed up, parking was free.

Food and Drink

Each vendor will receive a ticket that is good for 1 food or drink item through Earl Giles each day. You are also more than welcome to bring your own snacks/food to keep in your tent.

Other important things to note:

-Please come prepared for the weather. Bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen.

-We will provide two changing tents with mirrors for all customers to use. The bathrooms for Earl Giles are in the shared hallway by Quincy Hall, so it's quite a walk to get to them. Portable bathrooms with hand washing stations will be available near the entrance of the lot.

-Once the market starts, there will be one entry and one exit point for pedestrians.

Rain Plan/ Cancellation Policy

This event will be rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, we will cancel and issue a refund, minus administrative fees of $25 which includes the Stripe fee (fingers crossed for beautiful weather)!!

Cancellations received at least 14 days in advance of the market will be refunded 50% of the booth fee. Any cancellations after the 14 days will not be refunded. You are welcome to transfer your booth to another approved vendor, please just email us at juniperloumarkets@gmail.com and let us know.
