2026 Food Vendor - CCP Festival
About the application
Vendor registration opens on March 15, 2026, and will close on May 1, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. At that time, our team will jury the applicants to ensure a clear variety of food trucks at the festival. You will receive notice if you have been accepted or waitlisted by May 15, 2026.
Prospective vendors will have the opportunity to complete an application and join the waitlist after booth spaces are sold out if they wish to secure a potential booth space in the event that one becomes available. A notice will be added to this information section to inform those planning to apply when the application availability changes to “waitlist only”.
Credit card information will be collected at the time you submit your application. Your card will be charged upon approval to participate in the 2026 Carver County Pride Festival.
There will be a $300 No Show Fee charged to your Credit Card in the event you are a no-show at the festival.
