Food Vendor Information

Food Vendor Qualifications & Spaces.

If you are serving any type of food item, this will qualify you as a "Food Vendor". Per Health Department Regulations, food may not be sold or served in exhibitor booths. All food vendors will be given an assigned area to park food trucks, trailers or stands. 

Deadlines & Fees

Applications are due by August 28,2026. Any applications received after this date will not be accepted. This ensures enough time for vendors to be placed accordingly. The food vendor fee is $100.00 due at time of application. Your application will not be processed until payment is received.
