Load-In, Load-Out, and Parking

TIMES

• Load-in is from 6:30 am to 8:30 am.
• All vendors must be set up and ready at 8:45 am; those not prepared to sell at that time will not be allowed to participate.
• If you need additional time to set up, let us know via email.

WHERE CAN I LOAD IN?

There are two parking lots on either side of Front Street Station. You will load in from one of these lots, ideally on the side where your space is located (see more info below).

Vendors will not have access to the blocked-off street directly in front of the venue (it will be closed with barricades) - this is for Food Trucks only.

Make sure there is room to pass by you if you are idling in the parking lot lane.

Bring a cart or dolly to make it easier for you.

VEHICLES INSIDE OF FRONT STREET STATION SITE

• We will only allow vendor's vehicles inside of Front Street Station during load in and load out for the following reasons, and you must ask for approval before the market day from the Market Manager:
  • To unload unusually heavy or bulky items that cannot be loaded in from the Parking Lot, such as freezers.
  • To unload large amounts of produce, plants, or agricultural products
  RULES
  • You MUST arrive prior to 8:00 a.m. as the street is closed off by permanent bollards after that.
  • Please call the Vendor Coordinator when you arrive so they can move the barricades.

• Food Trucks and Trailers are allowed to enter inside of the barricades — You MUST arrive prior to 8:00 a.m. as the street is closed off by permanent bollards after that.
  • Please call the Vendor Coordinator when you arrive so they can move the barricades and show you to your space.

Parking is free throughout Downtown Mesquite. Visitors to the market can park in any of the surface parking lots (including at churches) or street parking spaces. Vendors may only park in the designated lot (see below).

WHERE TO PARK — VENDORS

• Vendors are required to park at Mesquite Church Of Christ (2 blocks away) — 400 W Davis St, Mesquite, TX 75149 (map link)

• Move your car to this spot after you have unloaded your items but before you begin setting up.

During load-out, we will open up the main street in front of the venue for you to load out closer to your space. You may also load out from the Parking Lot.

• Spaces will be assigned in a follow-up email, sent the day before the event.
• Please note your space number, and take a look at the map to orient yourself.
• When you arrive, the event manager will ask you for your space number and/or company name.
