LOAD-OUT & OVERNIGHT SECURITY

We take safety and security very seriously at Denver BAZAAR. There will be security overnight, albeit more minimal than during the day. Please be sure to take all valuable items with you, but you are welcome to leave your tent weighted down in its place overnight.

All vendors MUST have their tents lowered and weights securely fastened. We are expecting adverse weather conditions overnight, so we recommend putting tent walls up and taking anything valuable. Wind and rain may be present overnight. Please leave your tents and tables set up, unless otherwise discussed with our vending team. However, you are encouraged to take valuables with you overnight. Please note that the Denver BAZAAR team will only be on-site until 1 hour after the event concludes. Our Vending Team will be at the venue by 9:15AM on Sunday morning, although you are welcome to arrive before then if needed.

No breakdown may occur until the event concludes at 5PM on Sunday, no exceptions. A Vendor Coordinator will provide specific load-out details at the event. Denver BAZAAR staff will be on-site up to 2 hours after the event concludes on Sunday; please plan accordingly.
