Parking:

This year, Catapalooza falls on the first Friday of classes. Bobcat lot 15 is the space designated for Catapalooza vendor parking. You do not need a permit to park there during Catapalooza. However, vehicles parked in unauthorized areas like fire lanes, service drives, reserved spaces, and 24-hour reserved will be ticketed and possible towed.Additionally, due to on-going construction on S 7th Street, vendors will need to access the SUB Bus Loop via Grant Street from the east. To reach Bobcat lot 15, drive down Grant Street towards the east, turn right on S Wilson, turn right on Kagy, and drive until you find Bobcat lot 15 on the right side. See below for directions and link to the parking map.

Set-Up:

Once you are checked-in you may begin setting up your booth space. Please set-up and keep coverage at your booth area for the duration of Catapalooza. You are responsible to bring a table and chairs UNLESS you are aCatapalooza sponsor. Catapalooza Bobcat-level sponsors will receive one table and two chairs. Catapalooza Champ-level sponsors will recieve two tables and two chairs.

IMPORTANT: If you plan on setting up tents, canopies, umbrellas, or display items, please note that you WILL NOT be able to stake anything into the lawn. We ask that you bring cinder blocks, milk jugs filled with water, or sandbags to secure your area. If you bring a tent or canopy it may not be bigger than your booth space (11’x10’). Champ-level sponsors will get two 11'x10' booth spaces. The picture below shows what happens to a tent when it is not secured with cinder blocks/sandbags.
