Now Accepting Applications for 2010 Festival
We are looking for the best in ethnic, regional and traditional foods to delight guests and showcase a wide variety of tempting foods to compliment the spirit of the festival. We will be selecting 30-35 food vendors that will be located in different food courts throughout the festival. Professional festival vendors as well as restaurants, caterers, and non-profit groups are sought. We are looking for quality food offerings with preference in selection given to:
- Authentic ethnic food selections
- Regional food selections
- Unique menu items
- Vendor’s past festival experience
- Booth (set up) appearance
We hope that you will consider applying for the festival. Past festivals have been successful for food vendors. Food is considered an important element of the event rather that an add-on. We will be showcasing our food vendors in news releases, on the official festival website and at information provided at the festival’s on-site Information Booths.
