CONVENTION CENTER VENDORS:
201 W. Marcy St
Santa Fe, NM 87501


Loading/Unloading:
For vendors loading/unloading at the Convention Center, there are 3 options:

1. Loading docks located at the back of the CC: drive around the block until you see the loading dock area. There are approximately 6 places for cars/trucks to pull in at one time. We will have a security person there timing vendors. The more booths you have the more time you have to unload. Please be courteous of other vendors and when you are done unloading move your vehicle to the Convention Center underground parking garage.

2. A “pull over” section on the side of the street on Grant, that borders the Convention Center : you can fit up to 6 vehicles. You unload from there and go directly to the exhibit hall from a side entrance. That space is limited to 30 minutes and they are strict.

3. Either of the 2 levels of underground parking garages at the CC : there are elevators that take you pretty close to the exhibit hall . We suggest this option for vendors with a smaller load.


Convention Center Parking: We have a great deal for vendors for a 4 day pass. You buy the pass on Thursday – 4 day pass is $20 instead of $9/day. If you are unloading on Wednesday , you just pay the normal fee by the hour or $9/day max. .

You may park in the Convention Center lot or the below two lots for this rate
Sandoval Parking Garage 216 E San Francisco (across from the Hilton) 400 spaces
Scottish Rite Temple 463 Paseo de Peralta (a few blocks from the Convention Center) 103 spaces.
