YOGA FUN DAY MIAMI - VENDOR SITE MAP
Miami Yoga Festival – Yoga Fun Day
YOGA FUN DAY MIAMI SETUP AND BREAKDOWN FAQ’S
When do we get a vendor map?
Vendor Maps will be sent out before the show (about one week) with your zone at the festival and Vendor Welcome Packet. Since our festivals are outside (We deal with Mother Nature i.e. it might rain and it is all muddy, or there are ants all over a certain area ) we might need to move folks around a bit to make things flow and operations work. Thus, we usually don’t identify “exactly” where you will be at the show in case we need to make last minute changes at the venue. Thus, we put vendors in Zones based on the package they purchased. VIP and Premiere Booth spaces are the exception and is one way to guarantee your prime spot at the festival. Once you arrive one of our team members will show you where to set up in your zone.
What time can we set up?
Vendor Village and Artists Alley starts at 10 AM – 5 PM. Setup will start at 7 AM on Sunday, Dec 12, from 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. to finish set up. All booths must be set up and ready to go by Sunday, Dec 12th at 9:00 A.M. Vendor Village and Artists Alley opens at 10 AM on Sunday, Dec 12th. All classes start at 10 AM.

Can your team help me set up my booth?
No, please plan on bringing people with you to help with setup and breakdown of your tent, tables and chairs. We have a very small team and can not setup your booth. We will try to help if we can but plan on bringing helpers for setup and breakdown as our team is just too small to help all vendors setup their equipment and tents.
