Winterfest Food Vendor Application

ABOUT VIRGINIA HIGHLAND DISTRICT
The Virginia Highland District was created to design, develop, and implement strategies of community engagement and economic development. We have had great success with community events in the past, including our Porchfest that brought the neighborhood alive with tens of thousands of attendees. We have also created a summer series that includes Food Truck Fridays, along with Barre in the Park and a weekly Farmers Market.
