Food Vendors

Our Fourth of July Festival at Festival Park will feature a vibrant lineup of food vendors serving up crowd favorites, regional specialties, and sweet treats for the whole family to enjoy. In honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we are proud to place special emphasis on supporting veteran-owned food businesses. This year, we are intentionally creating space for veteran entrepreneurs to showcase their culinary talents and share their stories with the community. Join us in celebrating great food, local flavor, and the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our freedom.

This event will be from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Vendors are welcoe to stay open later. However, many will be focused on the fireworks. If approved, please plan to arrive at festival park no later than 3:00 PM for setup.
