FOOD VENDOR APPLICATION — $500

SERVE AT TURKEY BASH

Food Vendor Fee: $500

Thanksgiving is the most food-obsessed holiday of the year — so naturally, food is going to be a huge part of Turkey Bash.

On Saturday, November 21, thousands of hungry South Florida families will fill C.B. Smith Park for a full day of eating, playing, shopping and gathering.

We want you feeding them.

BRING YOUR BEST
We're looking for food trucks, restaurants, caterers and specialty food concepts that can bring something memorable to the Bash.

Thanksgiving-inspired dishes are highly encouraged — whether that's traditional comfort food or something completely unexpected.

Turkey tacos? Absolutely.

Turkey gumbo? We're listening.

Turkey pad thai? Now we're talking.

You don't have to serve Thanksgiving food, but we want every participating vendor to bring something worth making a trip across the park to try.

FOOD VENDOR FEE — $500
Accepted food vendors receive:

• Dedicated food vending space
• Opportunity to sell directly to attendees
• Access to an expected audience of thousands of South Florida families
• Placement within the Turkey Bash food experience
• Opportunity for inclusion in Turkey Bash marketing and social content

Vendors keep 100% of their on-site food sales.

We intentionally limit excessive menu and vendor overlap so our guests get more variety and participating vendors have a better opportunity to sell.
