Food and Beverage Vendor Application

We're back! Excitement is brewing and we are inviting you to join the 16th annual A Taste of Chamblee, the city's largest food festival! Taste of Chamblee will expose your business to a flourishing community with nearly 30,000 residents and consumers. The one-day community festival celebrates Chamblee's unique history and diverse restaurant and business scene. The festival features a Kids Zone, two giant LED screens that will be tuned into the ACC and SEC football games and a Wine Down Tent. We are seeking restaurants to join us for this community event that showcases the wonderful cuisine for which Chamblee is known! #ChambleeEats 

Note: Vendors are required to be present for the duration of the event. If you are a food truck/trailer, we may or may not be able to accommodate you based on event/festival space. 

We will be using a new point-of-sale system and devices will be provided to each food/beverage vendor for use throughout the event. All devices will be preset and ready for use during the event. A training for how to use the app and devices will be required prior to the event. Details about the training are TBA.  

Schedule for Vendors:

• Application deadline: Friday, September 26
• Finalized Menu with costs: Friday, October 3
  • We ask that all food items cost between $2 and $6. Remember, these are "tastes", so portions should be kept small! Alcohol is exempt.
• Note: A Taste of Chamblee is a juried event. Sending in an application does not guarantee acceptance. Vendors not selected will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if an opening becomes available. 

Vendor Fee includes:

• The $100 fee pays for one (1) booth space, which includes a 10 x 10 white tent, one (1) six-foot table, and two chairs.
• You may NOT bring your own tent. One will be provided for you.
• If you require more tables/chairs, you will need to bring them.
• If you'd like another booth space, please pay for a double booth, which costs $150.00 (only $50 more than a single booth). *NOTE that space is limited, so we cannot guarantee a double booth will be available.*
