Grant street artists can check in and set up anytime from 1pm-6pm - those artists on this street will have the ability for a more leisurely setup as booths are only on one side of Grant.

North Side Artists: Artists on the North side of 4th street will have a check in time of 1pm-3pm. You will have an hour to unload your vehicle and move it off the premises. Windshields will be marked with the time you arrived, and this will be monitored. Once you have moved your vehicle off the street, you can continue setting up your booth indefinitely.

South Side Artists: Artists on the South side of 4th street will have a check in time of 4pm-6pm. You will have an hour to unload your vehicle and move it off the premises.
