Food vendor lineup

We curated the 2026 lineup for variety, to fit the Festival's Earth-friendly mission, and to give each vendor a fair chance to do well. Primary food vendor spots for this year are filled.

The form below is for a backup list only. If a vendor cancels close to the event, we may reach out to people on that list. Joining the list does not guarantee a spot. If you have questions, please contact us.

Requirements

The following requirements apply to everyone who sells food at the Festival, including anyone who might join from the backup list on short notice.

• Food Service License: All food vendors must be licensed and comply with the Town of Brunswick food service rules. If you have not sold food in Brunswick before, please contact the Town Clerk's office at 207-725-6658. Information and applications are available at brunswickme.gov.
• Commercial Insurance: All food vendors must be fully commercially insured and provide a certificate of insurance that lists Sustainable Practice as an additional insured, no later than April 11, 2026.
• Self-Sufficiency: You must provide all equipment, supplies, power, water, and other resources needed for your operations. Electricity, water, and other utilities are not guaranteed at the venue.
• Waste Management: You are responsible for collecting, removing, and properly disposing of all waste, grease, wastewater, and refuse generated by your operations.

Sustainability

These practices apply to all food vendors at the Festival, including anyone who joins from the backup list.

The Festival aims to be a zero-waste event that promotes healthy, local food systems. Here's how you can help:

Zero-Waste Practices

• Provide wooden cutlery, paper straws, paper cups and plates, and unbleached napkins
• Promote "bring your own mug" and reusable water bottles
• Sell packaged beverages only in metal cans — no glass or plastic bottles (aluminum is easy to recycle; plastic and glass are not)

Healthy, Local Food

• Plant-based options
• Maine-sourced ingredients
• Sustainably grown or harvested food (certified organic, etc.)
• Delicious options for vegetarian and vegan diets

Sustainable Practice can help you source "green" supplies and up your sustainability game so you make a great impression with our hungry, Earth-loving crowd.

Vendor Agreement

Everyone who sells food at the Festival, including anyone invited from the backup list, signs a Food Vendor Agreement with Sustainable Practice covering consideration, event details, licensing, insurance, responsibilities, indemnification, and other standard terms. Key points:

• No booth fee, vending fee, or commission — you keep 100% of your sales
• Sustainable Practice will promote your business through the Festival website, social media, print materials, and email
• You agree to attend the Festival rain or shine for its full duration
• Either party may terminate with 14 days written notice

You can download the full vendor agreement (PDF) for review. If the terms are acceptable, we will send an electronic copy for signatures.
