Food Vendors
In an effort to ensure the success of food vendors, we have limited the number of food booths at the festival to approximately 15 vendors.  We also look very closely at each submitted menu. At least one peach specialty food item and/or drink must be included on your menu. Out of respect and in fairness to all vendors, only pre-approved items may be sold.

Food vendors must submit a separate application to Mesa County Public Health (MCPH) after being accepted.  Applicants will not be allowed to participate in the festival unless they have been approved by MCPH.  Ice is now considered a food and those serving only drinks must also meet all MCPH requirements and obtain approval.

Propane tanks must be secured and/or chained together as needed.  

A minimum of one K-Guard and one 10-pound ABC extinguisher is required at booths cooking with oils.  A minimum of one 10-pound ABC fire extinguisher is required at all food vendor booths using open flame.  EXTINGUISHERS MUST BE TAGGED FROM THEIR ANNUAL INSPECTION.
