Two days in 2025
We are excited to trial a two day event in 2025, having received overwhelming support from our local food vendors. We are also moving to a ZERO Waste event.
So what does this mean for the foodies?
-
Increased Profits as you will no longer need single use packaging...(Though in our trial year please bring a back up supply of compostable packaging, in case we encounter problems restocking reusable plates and tumblers)
-
Please take your food van waste home to be sorted and recycled.
-
We have increased the site fees to reflect a two day event and to cover the cost of managing the collection and washing of the re-usable plates, bowls and tumblers
-
Expressions of interest are sought from vendors who can commit to attending both days. One day Vendors will be NOT be accepted
-
Food vendors will be allowed to leave their secured vans onsite for the duration of the event (we will be providing night security patrols of the site)
