Lost Lands Festival is now accepting applications for Food Vendors!
Lost Lands Festival is a music, camping, and art festival held in Legend Valley, Thornville, OH on September 23rd - 25th, 2022. Please visit lostlandsfestival.com for complete information on the Lost Lands Festival.
We are so happy you are interested in joining us and can't wait to learn more about you! In order to be considered for a coveted food vendor spot you must complete the entire application. To pull yourself to the top of the over 400 applications, here are some pointers:
- Get on board with the theme. We are a Dinosaur, Stone Aged, Prehistoric themed festival - there are life sized dinosaurs populating the whole festival, moving around, and making you think you've gone back in time while bass music makes your heart rumble with joy. What can you do to make your booth come to life in this Prehistoric Bass Party? Put your creative caps on. "We sell burgers" just won't do - "We sell Brontosaurus Burgers that are as big as a small child with a dinosaur design grilled into the top of every bun" - ding ding ding! That's a winner. Bring your A-Game, get weird and have fun - that's how to be considered.
- Be sure to list your full menu with prices and attach some good pictures of your booth set up, food, logo and promo images.
- List at least one "tasting" or "happy hour" food item - something that will give fans a taste of what you do that is thematic interesting, but isn't the full kit and kaboodle. We will be developing tastings and happy hours for the festival fans this year and want to be able to feature your culinary creations this exciting program
Note that Load-in dates are PER ADVANCE (meaning we'll tell you later) but expect to be getting on site and setting up a couple days before the fans.
