Welcome to Shopapalooza 2012!
We’re thrilled to have you be part of LocalShops1’s annual Local Alternative to Black Friday!
The event, as you know, takes place 10 am to 4 pm this Saturday at South Straub Park,
which faces Beach Drive and Bayshore Boulevard, between the Museum of Fine Arts
and the Yacht Club in St. Pete’s downtown waterfront. Admission is free.
Vendor Instructions
Vendors should arrive 6:30 to 8:30 am, as early as possible. There are two check-in stations: one faces Bayshore,
the other Beach Drive. Go to the one closest to your zone (see Map to find zone) to get your exact assignment.
Electricity and/or tent: If you have reserved but not paid, bring a check made to LocalShops1. Cost is $40/tent,
$25/electricity. If you did not already reserve tent/electricity, it is unlikely we will be able to provide those to you. If
you’re using electricity, please bring your own 100-foot outdoor extension cord and tape to cover it with.
Set-up and parking: Unload quickly and park your car before beginning to set up. Please park in one of the Pier
lots (Dolphin and Pelican), along 2nd Ave. NE., or the nearby parking garage. Cost is $3 to $5 for the entire day.
