    • Please allow time and bring a bag or cart for transporting your items from a parking garage (see options below) to Monroe Place.
    • If necessary, there are drop off points for people and supplies (see details below).
  • First responders arriving after 9:00 am with vehicles to display should come to the northbound right turn lane on Monroe Street. We will have someone stationed there to help you access Monroe Place.
  • Setup will go from 9:15 am – 10:15 am. Please plan to arrive no later than 9:45 am and to be fully set up between 10:15 am and 10:30 am. If your setup will take some time, please plan to arrive early.
