We will continue to update this page as additional details are confirmed.
Note that as of April 4, all available booth slots have been assigned.
If you have a question, check here first. If it’s not answered, contact us at fremontcreates@gmail.com.
Timing
- The event is publicly advertised to start at 11 am. We have the plaza starting at 10 am, and you are encouraged to arrive at 10 am to start setting up your booth (City staff will have tents set up by 10 am). It’s possible attendees will arrive before 11 am, so plan to be ready to go at 10:45 am.
- Please plan to stay for the entire event (11 am – 3 pm).
- Be prepared to pack up your materials and leave starting at 3 pm, but not before. We don’t want those arriving later in the day to miss out on all you have to offer!
- Please take a few minutes at the end to clean up any trash in or around your booth. We’ll have trash bags and gloves available.
Arrival
- We recommend you park on Capitol Ave. or in the City office lot on the east side of DTEC. Both these areas are closest to your booths for unloading and load up; see Site Map below.
- We will clearly mark a drop-off area near the DTEC so you can pull up to unload items and bring them to your booth, then move your car.
- When you arrive at the event, we’ll have a check-in station at the Fremont Creates Information booth (Booth #1). Please go there first so we can confirm your booth location and provide any help you need in getting set up.
Booths
- Booths will be marked with numbers on large colored sheets of paper. When you check in, we’ll tell you which booth number is yours.
- A couple of you have asked for electrical access, and we have that mapped out. If you will be running any extension cords, be sure to bring gaffer tape to secure all cords safely.
- Each booth will have:
- One 6-ft table, and a colorful plastic tablecloth.
- Two chairs.
- A canopy tent (unless you are in the Lobby).
- Event Center staff will set up and take down the booths. You just need to be prepared to set up your displays, materials, giveaways, etc.
- In addition, we suggest you also bring: water bottles, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and any office supplies you think might be helpful.
- We will have a box of emergency office supplies at the Information booth in case you forget something.
- We will have both a “Lost & Found” box and a First Aid kit at the Information booth.
Additional reminders
- You may not sell any items at your booth.
- You may not serve or sell food at your booth (even free food!).
- There will be food for purchase from food trucks supplied by Food Truck Mafia.
- You MAY accept donations if you’re a nonprofit. Feel free to bring a donation jar or basket, or donation envelopes people can take with them.
- We recommend that you post a QR Code at your booth, linking to your website. Printing it on an 8.5×11 sheet of paper will be large enough for folks to scan with their phone as they get near your booth. There are several free QRC creators, including Canva and QR Code Monkey. Google “Free QR code generator” to find many others, and you can test which format you like best.
Map & Parking
The DTEC is located at the intersection of Capitol Ave. and State St.
See below for the map/layout at the DTEC. The City of Fremont staff will be assembling and placing the tents, so we are not sure of their exact locations yet. When you check in at Booth #1, we’ll tell you where your booth is.
We recommend parking on Capitol Ave or in the City office lot as shown below in green boxes with white text. You will be able to stay there all day.
