Food Truck Space

Welcome to the Summertime Sip Festival! We have two options for food trucks:

1. SOLD OUT - Upper Parking Lot - 3 spaces available - $100

These spots will plug into the box that borders the Courthouse Plaza and entrance to the festival. These spots will require the food trucks to back into the space. This is a prime location and very visible! Food trucks in these spots will need to be in place before setup opens at 9am as to not impede the wine vendors' set up. You must stay in place until the festival ends at 5pm and allow the wine vendors also to tear down before leaving.

2. Grass Lot at King Avenue - 3 spaces available - $50

These spots are available in the grassy lot at the southwest end of King Avenue. You must operate from a generator in these spots. You will need to be set up and ready by 11:30am. You must stay in place until the festival ends and King Avenue reopens at 5pm.

This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.

Please read the entirety of the Terms & Conditions before proceeding:

The festival footprint will be open for setup at 9:00 AM. Please arrive in a timely manner to ensure you have adequate time to offload, move your items to your booth area, and be set up by 11:30 AM.

The festival runs from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM, and vendors are NOT permitted to pack up or vacate their booth space before 5:00 PM.

If you cannot attend after your application and fee have been processed, you must notify Albemarle Downtown by May 15 at 5:00 PM ET to receive a full refund.

As in previous years, a copy of a certificate of liability insurance must be submitted from your insurance underwriter, naming Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation as the Certificate Holder. We are requiring all vendors to provide proof of liability coverage with a limit of $1,000,000 each occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate. In speaking with our insurance carrier, we also recommend that you list Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation as additional insured.

If you do not have general liability coverage, you may purchase a one-day concessionaire/vendor/food truck liability policy. Two carriers that offer this type of coverage are USLI and K&K. (Albemarle Downtown does not endorse USLI or K&K). The insurance carrier will request the estimated number of customers served: we expect to have 1,000 attendees at the festival, but not all 1,000 will visit each vendor.

We advise all vendors to speak with their insurance agents regarding liability coverage for this event. Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation’s insurance coverage provides no coverage to vendors participating in the Summertime Sip Festival.

You must also complete and sign the Summertime Sip Festival General Liability Waiver Form, included in this application. Both your certificate of liability insurance and your signed general liability waiver form must be submitted by Tuesday, May 27, at 12:00 PM ET.
