Key dates
Two rounds: Round 1 (priority) closed Thu Nov 5; Round 2 is open and closes Fri Jan 15, 2027.
- Round 1 (priority): apply by Thu, Nov 5, 2026 · decisions by Tue, Nov 10 · pay-by Fri, Nov 20, 2026. Selected and paid on time = guaranteed booth. On-site cooking food booths (food truck / trailer or open cooking): pay $375 of the $750 booth fee by Fri, Nov 20 to lock; the remaining booth fee ($350 after your $25 application credit) plus cleanup deposits are due Fri, Jan 29, 2027, or you yield the booth. Drinks: pay $250 of the $500 booth fee by Fri, Nov 20 to lock; the remaining booth fee ($225 after your $25 application credit) plus cleanup deposits are due Fri, Jan 29, 2027, or you yield the booth. Cancel by Jan 29 for a booth-fee refund minus a 25% cancel fee (minimum $50); after that date, no booth-fee refund.
- Round 2 (open): apply by Fri, Jan 15, 2027 · decisions Fri, Jan 22 · booth fee due Fri, Jan 29, 2027. About 20–30% of booths are held for Round 2.
- Unpaid selections forfeit the $25 deposit, and the spot goes to the next vendor on the waitlist. A Round 1 selectee who misses the pay-by stays on the Round 2 waitlist without a new deposit.
This application covers food truck/trailer, open cooking (canopy), beverage anchors, snack/treat booths, and sealed take-home food retail. Craft / general merchandise, corporate, and nonprofit, community info, and kids activity tables use separate applications.
Booth fee tiers (pick one — nested, not additive): Snack / treat only ($150) · Drinks including snacks ($500) · Full meal — open cooking or food truck — including drinks and snacks ($750). If your menu spans two tiers, choose the higher one only — do not buy Snack + Drinks, or Drinks + Open cooking / Food truck, as separate charges. Sealed take-home retail ($150) is a separate path. See Food vendor class for meal vs drink/snack examples (protein chunks or noodle soup = Full meal; plain broth side cup = Drinks/Snack).
How it works
- Apply and pay the $25 application deposit. It’s credited toward your booth fee if you’re accepted and refunded if you’re not selected.
- We review menus with our food curation process and may send a recommended festival menu.
- After you accept the recommendation, we approve your application. For most booths we charge the rest of your weekend booth fee then (booth prices show the full published fee; your $25 is credited once at approval — important if you select more than one booth). The refundable $100 trash deposit (every food booth) is charged on Fri, Jan 29, 2027 (or at approval if you’re approved after that date). Round 1 on-site cooking food booths (food truck / trailer or open cooking): pay $375 of the $750 booth fee by Fri, Nov 20, 2026 to lock; remaining booth fee ($350 after your $25 credit) plus trash and cooking cleanup deposits are due Fri, Jan 29, 2027, or you yield the booth. Other / Round 2 cooks: full booth fee by the pay-by; cooking cleanup is charged with trash on Jan 29 (or at approval if later). If you cook on site, add the $500 cooking cleanup item when you apply — it does not lock the booth. Pre-packaged and no-cook booths pay only the $100 trash deposit. Cancel by Fri, Jan 29, 2027 → booth-fee refund minus 25% cancel fee (minimum $50); after that date, no booth-fee refund.
- After the festival, the $100 is refunded when you bag out your trash and leave your space clean, and the $500 is refunded if your space has no grease, oil, or burn marks and no damage.
- Food vendors must hold Sacramento County Temporary Food Facility (TFF) / MFF permits as required for your setup, pass health/fire inspection. A COI is not required at apply; food and power/generator booths upload by Fri, Jan 29, 2027 with full payment and deposits — see Insurance below.
