  • Sand In My Boots Food Vendor Application

    Gulf Shores, AL | May 16-18, 2025
  • Application Process:

    This is an application, and does not guarantee acceptance. Please read and follow the instructions included in this application. We will not accept applications that are not completed correctly. If your application is accepted, you will receive an acceptance letter with a contract and fees due. The acceptance packet will also provide detailed insurance, permit and advance requirements.  Please note this is a cashless event. Applications are due by February 1, 2025.
  • Booth Description:

    Please submit pictures with your application. All applications should be submitted in PDF or Word format only. Please note that all vendors will be set up in uniform event tents that you will rent from the event (unless otherwise notified). We will not be contracting concessions trailers or food trucks. Applications will not be processed without pictures of a booth set up. Be sure these are pictures of your booth, not a sketch or mock picture. A picture of the outside and inside of your booth would be best - a maximum of five (5) photos can be uploaded.
  • Menu Choices:

    Please fill out your menu choices with pricing. Menus must be limited (no extensive menus). The event will try to give selected vendors their first choice of menu items, but cannot guarantee. The event does not want to have numerous vendors selling the same menu items, but does not offer exclusivity. We will let you know what items from your submitted menu you will be allowed to sell.
  • Equipment, Sinks/Grease/Trash, Signage:

    Vendors are required to supply all necessary cooking equipment, fire extinguishers, tables, floor coverings, coolers, refrigeration units, and any items needed to obtain proper permits. Each food vendor must provide a 3-bay dish and a hand wash sink with hot/cold running water, along with a gray water pump. Vendors are also responsible for placing ground cover within their booth or cooking area to absorb any grease. All propane tanks must be kept at a minimum distance of 12 feet from any cooking equipment to ensure safety. Open flame cooking, charcoal or wood burning smokers are not permitted at this event. Additionally, vendors must collect and bag any trash from within their booth space. Dumpsters will be provided for vendor trash disposal. For a cohesive, professional appearance, the event organizers will produce banners and menu boards for all tents, and no additional items may be hung on the outside of the tent. Vendors will not be allowed to open or operate their booth if these requirements are not fully met.
  • Beverage + Ice Policy

    Food vendors may sell non-alcoholic beverages such as soda and water. These must be purchased through the event. All other drinks must be pre-approved by the Festival. No alcoholic beverages can be sold at any time. All ice must be purchased through the Festival.
  • Insurance Requirements:

    All vendors participating in the Festival must have liability insurance per event. Upon acceptance to the Festival, you will be forwarded additional information regarding insurance requirements.
