At 6pm on Sunday, May 14, Greenville Police will ask festival attendees to clear the streets. At that time, please begin breaking down your booth. Once you have broken down your booth, you will be given an Access Pass by the City of Greenville staff. The Access Pass will allow you on-site with your vehicle when Police determine that streets are clear enough for vehicles to safely pass.

To expedite the load-out process, artists will depart the festival site after breaking down their booths exiting on one of three different side streets (Falls Park Drive, River Street, or Wardlaw Street). Please take note of the exit route that coincides with your booth number.

Artist booths 1-52 load out: Artists will enter on Broad Street and exit on Falls Park Drive.

Artist booths 53-97 load out: Artists will enter on Falls Park Drive and exit on River Street.

Artist booths 98-143 load out: Artists will enter on River Street and exit on O’Neal or Wardlaw.
