    • You will need to provide your own table, chairs, tent, and tent weights. 
    • Due to increased winds lakeside, tent weights are required for every tent. Tent stakes are not permitted by the State Park.

    • Subletting your space to another business or vendor is not permitted.

Free shuttle service is provided. 
    • The Block Party concludes at 4:00 pm, at which time all participants are asked to begin breaking down their displays.  For safety reasons, there are NO early breakdowns. The host retains the right to not invite violators back in following years.
    • All participants must be packed and out of the park by 5:00 pm.
