Food Vendors

Chomp & Stomp is a non-profit event benefiting the parks & green spaces of the Cabbagetown neighborhood in Atlanta.  

Our food truck vendors play a big role in keeping our festival-goers fed & happy during and beyond the chili cook-off, so thank you for your interest in helping Cabbagetown parks thrive! 

Applications to Chomp this year will not guarantee a space! This is in response to vendor feedback and to increase vendor diversity. We will accept vendors on a rolling basis.
