Hello 2024 Celebrate Davis Vendor!

We are looking forward to Celebrate Davis 2024 on May 17th with you! With your support and participation, we know we will have a successful event!

Vendor Load in begins at 10:30 am and continues until 3 pm. Your specific load in time can be found here:

Vendor Arrival:
Vendors may not park in the Arts Center parking lot during the event, unless sponsorship specified. Parking is available at Vets Center/DHS parking lot, however it is not guaranteed. Celebrate Davis brings out over 10,000 attendees from all over Yolo County and surrounding areas. We encourage you to arrive early to secure parking, however we can not guarantee parking.

Vendors are directed to come in through the Arts Center parking lot, accessible off Covell Blvd. Do NOT enter through the Vets Center Parking Lot. Entering through the Vet Center will disrupt our process and may result in delays with Vendor unloading.

Vendors do not require a load in pass - you will only need to provide your business name at the first stop in the load in process.

**Please note - if you are unable to make your load in time and come later, there may be delays in unloading assistance. You are required to have your booth set up by 4:00pm.**

Vendors will have 3 stops during load in.
