Why are we using Timed Entry?

• Timed entry helps us keep the marketplace safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone. By spreading out arrival times, we can welcome each group smoothly and avoid big rushes at the door. Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your assigned slot. For example, if your entry time is 11 AM, you’re welcome to start lining up at 10:30 AM. This gives the earlier group space to enter before the next wave arrives.
• Once you’re inside, you’re part of the fest for the whole day. Feel free to stay as long as you like, re-enter anytime, and wander in and out of the marketplace.
• Enjoy unlimited re-entry, come and go as it fits your day. Explore workshops, grab food and drink from the food trucks, and enjoy all the spaces we’ve created for our community to gather and celebrate.

Reminder:

• Please be sure to include your email address in order to receive your E-Ticket. After placing your order, you will receive an email containing a link to download your ticket in PDF format and instructions to add your mobile tickets to Apple Wallet for iPhone or Google Wallet for Android. On the day of the event, just open your digital wallet app to display the ticket's QR code for a seamless check-in experience.
• Children aged 8 and under can enter the marketplace free of charge.
• Workshops aren’t included in the Daily Pass or 3‑Day Pass. You do not need a Marketplace admission ticket to attend workshops. We’re keeping things flexible so you can jump straight into the fun. Our classrooms are located on the first and second floor, separate from the Marketplace area which is in the Regency Ballroom. You may proceed directly to the classroom, where you will be checked in separately.
• You can purchase tickets for your family and friends. For the Single Day Pass, the maximum number of tickets is capped at 10, and for the 3-Day Pass, the limit is 5. The system will ask for a name and email for each individual ticket, ensuring the QR codes are sent to the corresponding email addresses provided.
• We likely won’t offer door tickets this time. More pre‑planned entry times means less stress for our team and more time for us to celebrate with you.

Saturday - Trick‑or‑Treating

Trick‑or‑Treating with our vendors is happening on Saturday in the Marketplace! Wander booth to booth and see what each maker has brewed up for you. Participating vendors will be handing out either a treat…or a trick! Every booth has its own spooky rules, surprises, and mischief, so be sure to check their signs to see how to play. 
 
And don’t forget to bring your bucket (or bag, cauldron, pumpkin pail, whatever your spooky heart desires) to collect all your goodies along the way.

Expect candy, stickers, mini goodies, silly tricks, spooky challenges, and plenty of Halloween fun as you explore the market. Come dressed up, bring your best spooky spirit, and enjoy this interactive experience with our amazing vendors.
