At the event, you will experience merchants, boutiques, crafters and makers, local Centerville businesses, food trucks, alcohol sales courtesy of the Heart of Centerville, and entertainment by the City of Centerville.

Please read the application carefully. Applying and electronically signing this application means you agree to our terms.

Food Truck Application Process

We are a curated event and food truck vendors will be selected based on the following qualifications: HOCWT membership status, menu quality, presentation and branding of your truck setup, professionalism, and overall uniqueness. Our goal is to create an elevated, upscale experience for our guests.

To ensure a diverse and well-balanced food lineup, we limit cuisine categories and menu overlaps. Only one vendor per specific cuisine type or specialty may be permitted, and similar menus may be limited to avoid oversaturation.

Heart members are given priority acceptance. To become a member and receive priority consideration, please visit http://www.hocwt.org/join for more information.

If you are applying, please have the date readily available. Please include an email you use regularly, as this is how we will send out all acceptance and event information. 

You should select the category that best fits your business. 

Event Advertising 
Promotions, including media interviews, in-kind, and paid promotions, will be completed to ensure event success. This includes social media posts highlighting vendors. To ensure you're included, apply with your current business name and Facebook/Instagram handles. Failure to do so will result in not being included in these promotions. 

No-Show/No-Call Policy
When you submit an application to be a vendor at a HOCWT event, you agree to our terms & conditions. Those who do not notify HOCWT of their inability to attend at least one week (7 days) prior to the event will be removed as a vendor from our next event. A second occurrence could result in your removal for our entire event season.

Fees
Acceptance is tentative until approved.  Upon acceptance, fees will be charged to the card on file. The City of Centerville requires a $50 food truck fee per their 2026 Food Vendor Policy. The Heart of Centerville will collect this fee on their behalf and pass it along to the City of Centerville. Fees will be charged upon acceptance with the card on file.
