Upon entering our parking lot through the west driveway, each vehicle will check in and drive to their assigned parking spot. As they are driving to their spot, they will be able to view the information and craft booths from the safety of their vehicle. While attendees are waiting in their assigned parking spot, the pre-ordered food and craft items will be loaded into their trunks. Food and craft items will be available for pre-order only and must be paid in advance to promote contactless service.
