Helpful Tips!
It may be a good idea to bring a stroller for the comfort and safety of younger children. Some vendors may be cash only, so plan accordingly. This is an indoor event, so inclement weather won’t affect it. While there is an ATM, the event suggests you bring your own cash in case it runs out. No animals will be allowed on the premises with the exception of service animals. The venue also has a no weapons policy. If you’re planning on leaving the event and coming back, re-entry is permitted, but please hold onto your ticket to show at the door. If you’re interested in volunteering, or just want to find additional information, you can visit the event on their website! This event is located at 3001 N Grant Ave in Springfield.
