Requirements

The following requirements applied to everyone who sold food at the 2026 Festival and may guide future food vendor planning.

  • 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: Food vendors were required to be fully commercially insured and provide a certificate of insurance that lists Sustainable Practice as an additional insured.
  • 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 applied to all 2026 food vendors and reflect the Festival's goal of becoming a zero-waste event that promotes healthy, local food systems.

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 sold food at the 2026 Festival signed a Food Vendor Agreement with Sustainable Practice covering consideration, event details, licensing, insurance, responsibilities, indemnification, and other standard terms. Key points included:

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

You can download the 2026 vendor agreement (PDF) for reference.
