Closing, Cleanup & Load-Out

Closing Sequence

1. Remain open and staffed through 7:30 PM unless festival staff approved otherwise.

2. At closing, secure cash and inventory and begin packing within your assigned footprint.

3. Wait for festival staff to release load-out vehicle movement.

4. Follow the assigned route and traffic staff directions. Do not drive around barricades or enter against the load-out flow.

5. Remove all booth materials, equipment, signs, ties, tape, zip ties, packaging, food, grease, and debris by 9:30 PM.

6. Check your full booth footprint and the nearby curb or gutter before leaving.

7. Report damage, spills, injuries, or unresolved waste to festival staff.
