Fall Fest 2016 - Food Vendor Application

Thank you for your interest in the Town of Jupiter's annual Fall Fest, formerly known as Harvest Fest! Fall Fest 2016 will be held on Saturday, October 1st at 1-6pm at the Plaza Down Under on the Riverwalk.

Fall Fest is a free, family-friendly event that draws about 3,000 attendees. This year's event will feature popular local string band, Uproot Hootenanny, a special kid's fall carnival area, and for adults, an Oktoberfest style beer garden.

When selecting food vendors for Town of Jupiter events, the following are primary considerations:

Theme related food items. For Fall Fest, this means menus should include fall,carnival or oktoberfest themed offerings. These can include pumpkin, apples/apple cider, corn/roasted corn, bratwurst/sausage, pretzels, corn dogs, pies, etc. You're the creative cooks, a fall menu may mean something different to you, and that's okay too!

Affordable food items. Our events are free and we like food offerings to be affordable as well. Ideally, your menu will include some (though not all) wallet-friendly offerings. To us, this means a meal for less than $10.

Professional presentation. Whether you're in a booth or food truck, we expect a professional, clean, attractive display. This means vinyl banners with no wear and tear, covered or skirted tables, clean food trucks, etc. A photo of your event setup may be requested.

Space constraints. Town events typically have no more than 10 spaces for food vendors. This is why event theme and affordability are so important. Since space is limited, we want to ensure food offerings match the theme and are also affordable.

Please note, previous acceptance to Town events does not guarantee acceptance for this year's event. We make every effort to rejuvenate our events from year to year, which can mean selecting new vendors.

Emails will be sent to those who are accepted and those declined. If accepted, please be prepared to pay the $35 event space fee and provide a COI with the Town of Jupiter listed as the "certificate holder."

All communications will come from Maggie Kelly, Communications & Marketing Programs Manager at maggiek@jupiter.fl.us. Please make sure to check your spam folders to ensure you don't miss event communications.

We appreciate your time and look forward to reviewing your Fall Fest 2016 application!

Regards,

Town of Jupiter
