This application is for food vendors/food trucks only. Food/drink vendors include those selling entrées/meals, snack foods, desserts, and/or nonalcoholic beverages. This does not include canned, baked, and/or packaged goods. If you are selling any of the above, please complete the artisan vendor application.

Our goal is to bring local vendors to the forefront to provide a unique community-oriented experience by ensuring variety. Special consideration will be given to vendors with German or holiday themed offerings.

Submission of an application does not guarantee participation at the events. Vendor space is limited.

Applications will be reviewed and applicants will be notified about their status within one week of the submission deadline.
