About the application

This year’s food vendor lineup will exclusively feature dessert-focused vendors only, think cookies, cupcakes, cocoa, candies, churros, drinks, and other sweet treats that add to the magic of the evening.

 

If your business offers something on the sweet side or can adapt your menu for this event, we’d love to have you join us!

 

If your usual offerings don’t fit this theme, no worries we hope to work with you at future City events that include a full range of food vendors.

 

THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT 

ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE

 

Optional Opportunity – Spread Some Extra Cheer!
Would you like to sponsor and decorate a tree in addition to serving food?

Food vendors have the option to sponsor a Festival Tree, which can either be:

  • Gifted to a local family in need, or
  • Displayed at your business as part of the Holiday Tree Trail, in collaboration with the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber’s Shop Small this Season campaign.

The Holiday Tree Trail encourages visitors to shop local and explore decorated trees throughout the community, with a digital holiday passport to check in at each location. It’s a wonderful way to extend your impact and share your business’s holiday spirit beyond your booth.
