Before you apply — two ground rules

One restaurant per family. Booth space is limited, so we can only accept one food business per family — even when the businesses are registered under different names. Every booth stays in its lane. Food booths sell meals only. Snack booths sell desserts and snacks only. Drink booths sell drinks only. Everyone keeps their lane so every vendor has a successful festival.
