Vendor Village at Schenley Park
August 3-4, 2024 Weekend
![2013-PVGP-Schenley-Park-Vendor-Village-1024x585](https://pvgp.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2013-PVGP-Schenley-Park-Vendor-Village-1024x585-1.jpeg)
Vendor Village at Schenley Park has been transformed with uniformed tents and a dedicated vendor pathway. Each vendor spot now includes a PVGP supplied white hi-peak tent with a back wall. Three sizes of tents (10×10, 15×15, and 16×26) are available. This greatly improves the appearance and set-up of the tents – increasing traffic flow and business through the entire Vendor Village area. Tables, chairs, tent sidewalls and electricity are available for rent and will be in your tent when you arrive.
This is a dedicated area within Schenley Park that provides an excellent opportunity for you to display and sell your products and services to over 200,000-weekend spectators.
The vendor set-up is from noon – 7:00 PM on Friday. You will need special permission if you must move in on Saturday and move-in hours are limited to 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM. Vendors must be moved out by 7:00 PM Sunday. Sales should begin by 10:00 AM and close at 5:00 PM each day. This village is built on a golf course so your display cannot involve RVs, heavy trucks heavy, handling equipment, or building materials. Please call Don Privett at (412) 390-4712 to discuss if your display involves more than a tent, table and chairs.
The back wall will provide you with an area behind your tent to park one support vehicle. If you have a second vehicle or a vehicle longer than 15 feet you will not be able to park them behind your tent and you will need to purchase adequate space alongside. If you have your own tent, display, or custom trailer that you feel you must use to vend please contact the Grand Prix to discuss an optional location.
