The market does not lend wheelchairs, so bring your own. Because the crowds are large and some spaces are tight, it asks families to leave strollers at home if they can. Pets are not allowed, but service animals are. The venue says the 2026 layout spreads booths and food vendors further apart than before to give more room.
