Event Details

Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026

Location: Southeastern Oklahoma State University Student Union, Durant, Oklahoma

Once a registration form is submitted, our office will follow up by email or phone to confirm participation. Tables are limited, so early registration is recommended.

Schedule

Check-In: 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at The Loop (look for the large white tent)

Event Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Teardown: 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Loading and Unloading
Items are unloaded at the white tent location at The Loop in front of the Student Union. Vendors transport materials into the Student Union from that point. Please arrive within your check-in window. Enter campus via University Boulevard to 5th Street for the most direct access. Larger setups, such as a cooker or trailer, may unload directly at The Loop entrance.

Parking
Vendors are responsible for their own parking. Available areas include lots near the Fine Arts Recital Hall, Russell Building, and Science Building. These are examples only. Vendors should park wherever space is available and plan accordingly. A rolling cart is strongly recommended.

Your Setup
Each registered participant receives one table and two chairs. The majority of tables are located inside the Student Union on the first and second floors, providing a cooler, comfortable environment out of the August heat. Larger rigs and some tabling will need to be outside. Table placement is final once set. Please do not block sidewalks, ramps, or ADA access points during loading.

Important Reminders
There is no access to power. No electrical outlets or charging ports are available. Please bring battery-powered equipment as needed.
Tables are limited and confirmed on a first come, first confirmed basis.
Outdoor vendors should plan for weather and bring a tent and any materials needed.
Please bring everything you need. On-site resupply is not available.

Southeastern Oklahoma State University is committed to a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment for all. By participating, you join a community that values the relationships between our university, our students, and the broader Durant community. We are glad you are here.
