IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FOOD VENDORS

NEW THIS YEAR: Festa Italiana food vendors will offer “tasting” portions as well as a standard dinner portion of their menu items.  Here’s what you’ll need to know:

  • SPECIALTY food vendors:
    • MUST sell a tasting and standard portion of their single menu item.
  • STANDARD food vendors:
    • MUST include a tasing portion option for AT LEAST one menu item.
    • Standard food vendors may also sell non-alcoholic beverages except for water.
  • Note on your application which items include a tasting portion option, and note the price of the tasting portion vs. the standard portion.
  • There are no portion or pricing requirements, but we recommend that portion and pricing is consistent with other sampling/tasting events.

ALL SALES ARE BY TICKET ONLY.  Food tickets will be sold at the door for food and beverage.  Food vendors will receive $0.80 per ticket received.  Each vendor may set their own pricing in terms of “tickets” rather than dollars.  NO CASH SALES ARE ALLOWED.  StarEvents and a representative from your restaurant will count your tickets together at the end of each night.  A check will be issued to each food vendor on the last day of the festival.
