Food Vendors

Chomp & Stomp is a nonprofit festival benefiting the parks and green spaces of Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood.

Food trucks are a big part of Chomp & Stomp, keeping festival-goers fed throughout the day and after the chili runs out. Thanks for your interest in joining us and helping support Cabbagetown’s parks!

Vendor Selection

Submitting an application does not guarantee a space at the festival.

This year, we’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis taking into account cuisine and our capacity. Because applications are reviewed as they come in, some vendor categories or space sizes may fill before the application deadline.

Deadlines

• Regular application deadline: October 15
• Late application deadline: October 28, if space remains
• Confirmations, invoices and additional requests will be sent to accepted vendors after review.

We may close applications early if we reach capacity. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. If this form is still available, there is still space available.

Pricing

10 × 10 space: $1,050 Regular / $1,260 Late
10 × 20 space: $1,155 Regular / $1,470 Late
10 × 30 space: $1,315 Regular / $1,575 Late
Cart: $435 Regular / $560 Late

Chomp & Stomp is a rain-or-shine event. No refunds will be issued due to weather or cancellation of the festival.

Refund Policy
Regular applicants who withdraw by the end of the day on October 20th may receive a 50% refund. After October 20th, vendor fees are nonrefundable.

Alcohol
Vendors may not sell alcohol. We do, however, very much encourage zero-proof offerings.

Inspections and Safety Requirements

• Vendors must posess your county's health department or Department of Agriculture permits and may be inspected at any time.
• Vendors are subject to safety inspection by Atlanta Fire Rescue for appropriate materials and fire extinguishers.
• City of Atlanta festival regulations require vendor tents to be certified as flame-resistant. Please refer to Article IV, § 142-41(e) of the Atlanta Municipal Code.

Load-In
Vendors arriving after the.scheduled times will not be permitted to load in. There are no exceptions. Late arrivals will be turned away and will not receive a refund.

Parking
We will make every effort to provide vendor parking during the festival. Because of the size and layout of the neighborhood, however, we cannot guarantee parking in a designated lot.
