If you can carry or bring in all of your items on your own, you can enter through the front doors after finding parking. You must check in with security and sign in. Let them know you are a vendor for the event.

There is a front area called the “knuckle” with a yellow field goal post (marked yellow in the pics below.) You can utilize this pull-off area for 10-minute drop-offs.

Loading Dock

If you need to load in from a vehicle, you must unload at the loading dock. The loading dock is located on the side of our building near the corner of 12th Street + Smallman Street. (Technically, it’s 12th Street + Mulberry)

Loading Dock Instructions:  

• Please pull in at the two large green doors, then call the number located on the building. This will alert the Events Crew to open the dock and assist you with carts.  

• When you enter the dock, you will sign in on the vendor clipboard.  

• Once your items are loaded in, you must relocate your car, this is not an area you can park. We must keep it clear for the next vendor coming in.

• You may NOT park your car in the pullout area in front of the field goal post. This must stay clear for emergency vehicles.

• The History Center does not own any parking lots. There is first-come-first-serve street parking or parking garages.

Parking garage options:

• 11th and Smallman Street Lot

• Convention Center Garage

• Grant Street Transportation Center Garage

• 13th and Smallman Street Lot
