Street Loading Zones that run along Grant Place (pay attention to street signs to make sure you are in the right place).​
Notice there are more of you than spaces, so please be swift and once you unload move your vehicle to vendor parking right away BEFORE booth setup.
Chalk Artists
You will be designated a 7x7 footprint on 57th avenue, spaces are first come first served. Please remember that this is a family event, so your Halloween pieces must be PG.
​
Participants must bring their own supplies including paint, brushes or water. Artists must use chalk pastels to better wash away with natural elements.
​
If you have a method to cover overnight please bring, otherwise we will supply a plastic sheet. Pieces must be complete by 3pm on Sunday, October 5th for guests to vote for crowd favorite. We will announce the winner on social media at 4pm!

Unload your vehicle FIRST then setup AFTER you move your vehicle to permanent parking.

Please display a vendor parking pass on your dashboard in order to avoid tickets- please write your booth number.
​
Overnight?
You may leave your tent and display materials up overnight between event days, but we suggest you pack up merchandise.
57TH ARTISANS ONLY: this street will open back up at 8pm on Saturday overnight. Tents and equipment must be pushed to the back and not extend past the marked parking spaces into the street. You can drive in to pack up any items overnight, and back in Sunday morning.
​
There will be security overnight, but we do NOT recommend you leave valuable or small items, also in case of inclement weather. Insurance is a great idea as well to protect your personal property.
Sunday Load Out
Pack up your items FIRST before you bring your vehicle to the loading zone. Same loading zones apply for load out.
Please do not leave any trash or empty boxes behind- leave the space how you found it. We will have a dumpster located on the corner of Grandview & Olde Wadsworth Blvd in the parking lot of the Community Banks of Colorado.
