2026 Food Vendors

Hog Day will take place:

Friday September 18th from 6pm-10pm

Saturday September 19th from 10am-6pm

• Food Trucks only. -anyone cooking onsite must be in a food truck. Only prepackaged and pre-made foods can be sold under tents.
• Load in for FOOD VENDORS is Friday at 4pm. However, you can start lining up at 3pm on Margaret Lane.
• It is important that ALL vendors arrive on time, as we have a tight schedule and limited space. Late arrivals will not be accommodated.
• We do not supply power, water or lights. Hog Day only lights the common walkways. It is up to each vendor to light up their individual merchandise area.
• You are only allowed to have merchandise, signs and things that belong to your business in your rented area. All walkways and isles are to remain clear of tents, chairs and signs.
• All food vendors must send vendor coordinator a menu that I must be pre-approved before they are approved for the festival.
• All prices must be posted for all menu items. If you have fees for using a credit/debit card, you must have that plainly posted as well. No hidden fees.
• All permits are to be submitted to the health department by August 1st. If not, you will be removed from the festival lineup and fees will not be refunded.
• It is the vendor's responsibility to determine which permits are required. They will need to contact the County to find this out.

=========================================================================



• All permits must be submitted to the Orange County Health Department by August 1st. Failure to do so will result in your food truck being removed from the vendor map and fees will not be returned. The Orange County Health Department can assist with any questions.
• Maintain cleanliness at your food serving site and provide hairnets, aprons, and gloves for your staff as needed.
• Submit a menu of all items you will serve to the Vendor Coordinator by August 1st. Hog Day reserves the right to sell bottled water, soft drinks, and Bar-B-Que. Vendors may sell sweet tea, lemonade, and flavored waters.
• Your generator must be quiet and odorless; the Vendor Coordinator reserves the right to remove it if it’s too loud. (IF you have questions about this, ask BEFORE the event-NOT the day of).
• All food vendors must complete a “checkout” with the Vendor Coordinator before leaving to ensure cleanliness and proper trash disposal. Vendors who fail to do this will not be invited back next year. There are vendors who failed to do this last year, and they will not be invited back this year.
• All vendors must attend both Friday evening and Saturday for approval. Failure to show up on Friday will result in you not being allowed to enter the park on Saturday and fees will not be refunded.
• It is important that ALL vendors arrive on time, as we have a tight schedule and limited space. Late arrivals will not be accommodated.

• An approved fire extinguisher is required; it will be checked upon arrival. Without one, you cannot cook.
• No dining areas are allowed within your booth space; it is designated for food preparation and service only.
• Food trucks/trailers must remain on-site overnight Friday, with staff monitoring them.
• No smoking, including vaping, is permitted on-site.
• All payments are non-refundable. If you decide not to attend, your payment will not be refunded. Please ensure you can participate, as this is a rain-or-shine event.
• Vendor spaces must have an attendant present at all times.
• Once your vendor spot is paid for, you will receive a vendor packet containing:
  - A welcome letter and festival information
  - A detailed park map with directions
  - Vendor parking passes (please park in the designated vendor lot to avoid delays)
  - Details about required permits (for food vendors)
  - Load-in schedule
• Spot preferences will not be accommodated. I will create a vendor map and send it out a few days before the event. Vendor spots for similar items are limited; I aim for variety and will not accept more than two vendors of the same type (e.g., two candle vendors).
• Lastly, let’s keep this a community event! Be mindful of your language and attitude to ensure everyone enjoys themselves.
