Setup:

Setup can begin as early as 3 PM on Friday June 5th and we need to have everything set up no later than 9:30 AM on Saturday June 6th at the Festival Site (We highly encourage you to setup earlier rather than later). If you want to setup on Friday night, we cannot guarantee the security of any items left on Friday night. The Festival will open to the public on Saturday at 11 AM and will end at 5 PM. All Merchandise, Information and Non profit vendors will need to check in at the corner of Weldon and College Avenue, next to the FCC cafeteria. There will be a vendor only gate at that location. There is a large parking lot behind the cafeteria off of Weldon that is labeled Staff Only, Parking Lot K, this parking will be available on a first come first serve basis for our vendors. Unfortunately we are not able to provide Tables, Chairs or Canopies, feel free to bring your own! 
 
There is also plenty of street parking along Weldon and College Ave. I encourage you to find a parking spot and then go to the check in gate. This year due to new security procedures, vehicles will NOT be allowed on campus for set up. Everything you need for your booth will need to be carried in, we strongly encourage you to bring carts, wagons, dollies and strong volunteers to load in your booth. We are still finalizing the maps so your vendor spots have not been assigned yet, you will be given directions to your spot at check in and everything will be clearly marked. You will be given wristbands at check in which will allow you in and out privilege's. If you purchased extra vendor passes, those vouchers will be sent to you in a separate email. The gate on Weldon and College is the only gate where you will be able to check in at. The Vendor entrance will not be available to the general public, the main entrance for the general public will be in the front of the school by the fountain, near the large parking lots off McKinley Ave. 
 
Security:

No vehicles will be allowed on campus this year. Our security team or police department reserves the right to inspect any bags brought onto campus. Our security team will also be using scanners at the main entrances to the festival, similar to what they do at the Save Mart Center or the Big Fresno Fair. This year there will be additional Campus Police at the Festival and we have more than doubled our private security team. Safety is top of mind and we are doing everything we can to ensure a safe and fun event! 
 
Restrooms:

There will be a centralized restroom area with additional restrooms located throughout the festival site. 

Food:
 
The food trucks and food booths this year will be located behind the campus book store in the parking lot near the tennis courts. The festival site has expanded quite a bit this year and the food trucks will be inside the festival site.

Parade:

If you are planning on setting up your booth and then going to the parade, we encourage you to use our free bus transportation. There will be a bus stop in front of the Vendor Entrance, so you will be able to be picked up and dropped off at the special vendor entrance. The Vendor entrance will not be available to the general public. 

AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE; DUE TO NEW SECURITY PROCEDURES, NO CARS WILL BE ALLOWED ON VENDOR SITE FOR SETTUP. YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO PARKING AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOUR BOOTH WILL NEED TO BE CARRIED IN.  WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING CARTS, WAGONS, DOLLIES AND STRONG VOLUNTEERS TO LOAD IN YOUR BOOTH.

We are so excited to have you at the 2026 Fresno Rainbow Pride Festival!
