To get an idea of our the 2009 festival ran, here are our details:

Arrival

1:00pm – 6:00pm Friday, September 4th

Please enter via Medlock Crossing Parkway.

If traveling South on Medlock Bridge, turn right at Medlock Crossing Parkway, (first traffic light after State Bridge Road). Follow the signs to the festival entrance and the welcome tent.

If traveling North on Medlock Bridge Road, you will turn left at the traffic light at Medlock Crossing Parkway, (first traffic light after Old Alabama Road). Follow the signs to the festival entrance and the welcome tent.

This entrance should be used by the artists at all times.

Load/In & Load/Out

After registration, artists will proceed to the Artists Market parking area. A volunteer will help you park.

All artists should be prepared to cart their equipment and artwork from the parking lot to their booth location. Volunteers will be available to assist. We will attempt to park vehicles closest to the market for Load/In. We request that you unload your entire booth, cart it in, then move your vehicle out of the way so other artists may do the same. Please be considerate. There are a limited number of gaiters/golf carts available to assist you, if need be.

Load/Out will be the reverse procedure. Please break down your booth completely. You will then be instructed to bring your vehicle to the closest location to your booth before you can load. Again, please be considerate, and do not bring your car to the loading area before you are completely ready to load.

Parking

Oversized vehicles and trailers may park over night in the lot closest to the tennis court and swimming pool, or at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Any vehicles remaining on the property during non-festival hours should be parked at the back, closest to the tennis courts and swimming pool area where you enter the church property.
