Booth Assignments

Booth assignments are made based on a number of factors, including placement of canopies, access to electricity, and the design/message of individual exhibits. The assigned booth location is approximate. For example, if it looks like you're right next to a tree on the map, that may not be the case as trees on the map are not to scale.

• Ride the MTD bus: please advise your volunteers to use this or other car-free alternatives. Ideas and resources at www.santabarbaracarfree.org.

Securing Your Booth

Overnight security will be provided on Saturday, April 27. The security team is covering the entire park, and will not have capacity to monitor each booth closely. Please plan to secure your possessions and remove all valuables Saturday night.

Check the weather before you come. In case of inclement weather (rain or wind) please make sure to have your booth properly secured each day and overnight. We generally experience some level of wind, so we advise that you bring your own weights for your tent and display materials. If there is wind in the forecast and you have a pop-up tent, please lower the tent poles to reduce the chance if it blowing away. Staking of booths is not allowed.

CarpEvents nor the Community Environmental Council will be responsible or liable for lost or stolen items, or weather-related damage to exhibitor booth spaces, equipment, or materials.
