Before You Set Up Shop
01Is Mead Street being closed for Motion on Mead?
Motion on Mead is being organized around participating businesses and private host locations along the Mead Street corridor. Visitors should follow normal traffic laws, parking rules, and posted signage. Any official traffic or access updates will be posted here if applicable.
02What days and times is Motion on Mead?
September 19 and 20, 2026, from noon to 6 PM on both days.
03Why Mead Street?
Because Mead Street already has food, businesses, community, and motion. La Tapatia, Butler Candyland & More, Bajas, Wells Brothers, and Josephine's House of Lemon Pepper are already part of the area. Motion on Mead is about bringing more people out to eat, shop, walk, meet neighbors, and support what is already here.
04Why is there a vendor fee?
Putting on an organized, enjoyable, and safe event requires real resources. Standard spaces are $75 for one day or $125 for both days.
05Why is Motion on Mead the same weekend as Party on the Pavement?
Vendors and the community were already planning for that weekend. After Party on the Pavement announced a $600 vendor fee, some vendors began looking for another option. Motion on Mead gives those businesses and visitors another place to go without telling anyone where not to go.
