Thanks for for interest in providing food concessions for First Taste Oregon. We select our concession vendors based on menu offerings, price points, fit, and references.

The event team seeks out hearty meals and matches that with special treats, desserts and savory offerings. We have a low booth fee and sales %, but also ask that you provide a featured food item that you will offer samples or small tastes to our attendees. We believe this increases your sales, but also creates an atmosphere of tasting and enjoyment. This all leads to a memorable experience for attendees who become loyal fans returning each year. 

Booth spaces are provided inside for you to create a service area or limited food prep and cooking. Outdoor space for food trucks and trailers and carts can be arranged near a door with direct access to your indoor serving space. There are restrictions on cooking indoors.

Indoor Trailer & Specialty Display Units
First Taste Oregon welcomes unique trailers, carts, and freestanding display units as part of the indoor vendor experience. These distinctive exhibits often create memorable guest interactions, and we will work with you to identify the best possible location based on your unit's size, design, and operational needs.

Because these displays are located indoors, all units must comply with applicable Fire Marshal requirements and event safety regulations. Cooking or food preparation is not permitted inside the building. However, vendors may serve catered food prepared in a licensed commercial kitchen with the appropriate health permits, offer beverages in accordance with licensing requirements, or provide interactive experiences, demonstrations, or product sampling as approved.

Due to the unique nature of these exhibits, placement will be reviewed individually to ensure the best fit for your display while maintaining guest flow, safety, and the overall event experience.
