Parking & Restrooms
Vendors are expected to unload and then move their vehicle to off-street parking, allowing for market patrons to use the spots along Main Street. All vehicles should enter Park Street from Main Street, and exit from Pond Street after they have unloaded—keeping a one-way traffic flow. The same applies for reloading at the end of the market. Do not park in any of the private lots in the area, ie. behind IC Scoops, Union Bank when open, or any private residences. Public restrooms are located at Stowe Visitor Center and on the Depot Street side of the Stowe Mercantile shops.

Firearms & Drugs
Sales of Firearms or Drug (or Drug Paraphernalia) will not be permitted in any instance.
