Load in procedures:
During set up times listed above, your vehicles will be allowed into the event area to unload. Use caution in entering the area, as the entrance is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. Please unload quickly and then move your vehicle to make room for other exhibitors. ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE EVENT AREA BY 9:00 AM.
Parking:
Exhibitor parking is available behind the STAGE at the north end of the event. Vehicles parked in this area will not be able to leave during event hours so if you need to leave at any point you must park in the public parking areas outside the festival grounds, northwest of the event entrance.
PLEASE NOTE: Because of the sunset concert on Saturday, February 29th (3:30PM - 6:30PM) vehicles will not be allowed to drive through the event at 4pm. Anyone parking behind the stage area can exit out the north end of the property. Please note there are tight turns in exiting this way so if you have a trailer or larger vehicle you may want to park it in the parking lot out at the entrance to the festival.
Security:
Tres Rios Nature Festival will provide overnight security on Friday and Saturday nights, however we cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen items.
