Vendor Check-In for Art Deco Weekend

Updated 1-8-2024 with new setup hours, sidewalk placement, etc. 

We can’t wait to see you for Art Deco Weekend 2024!

• Set-up hours are 8am-Noon on Friday Jan 12th. Vendors should plan to arrive in your car at 11th street and Ocean Drive between 8am-11am on Friday, depending on how much time you need to set up before moving your car to the garage. Ocean Drive is now one way only, going south. So, you will access the street by turning east on Collins Avenue at 12th street, the northern end of the festival, and going south to find your booth location
• You will receive your booth number via email the day before the check-in, in order to simplify the check-in process. The street will have markings on it to help guide you to your location
• You will be able to drive your car up to be close to where your booth is in order to unload and set up the booth – be sure to park in the green lane on the east side of Ocean Drive so as not to block car traffic
• Please note: the street will be closed completely to cars at noon – no exceptions! Plan to unload your items to give you ample time to park and set up
• This year we will be using generators for power. Please make sure to bring an extension cord of 25′ so that you may connect to the generator plug

Remember to review the terms and conditions agreed upon when you signed up at the following link: click here. Volunteers and security will be monitoring the site throughout the day to ensure all guidelines are adhered to, for the fairness of all vendors and our guests. 

Other details:

• This event is “bring your own tent”
• Tents must be white and must fit within the space purchased (10×10 or 10×20 space)
• Tents must be placed with their front along the yellow sidewalk curb, and extend to the end of the sidewalk, which is 10’ in depth.
• Tents must have sides to be able to close securely in the evening. If you plan to remove all merchandise in the evening, you can lower your tent to the ground, but you cannot leave the tent open overnight if it stays in place.
• Banners and merchandise must not be displayed outside of the tent. All banners/merchandising must remain inside the tent at all times
• We will provide parking either in the nearby city garage at 7th/Collins and 13th/Collins or on the hard pack sand near the beach, if your car is more than a standard size car or if you have a trailer
• Once you finish loading in, you will proceed to park your car before returning to your booth. If you miss check-in, you can request a parking ticket at adw@mdpl.zendesk.com . The parking validation ticket is only required to be used when leaving the garage – you do not need it to enter the garage in the morning.
• It is strongly recommended that there are two people managing each booth, due to the length of the event. You can reach out to us if you are on your own and need a volunteer to watch your booth for short breaks. However, volunteers are available on a limited basis.
