Eastern Wharf Food Truck Festival Application
Thank you for your interest in the 3rd annual Eastern Wharf Food Truck Festival!
The festival will feature a range of curated food trucks designed to showcase the growing breadth and depth of Savannah's Food Truck Scene! Trucks will be selected by the festival committee. The festival will also feature a full day of curated live music.
The festival will take place on Saturday, October 3rd from 1-6 p.m on the Savannah Riverfront in the large open parcel located at 102 Port Street Savannah, GA 31401. This unparalleled location regularly attracts more than 3,000 people for signature events. Eastern Wharf will execute a robust marketing plan in social media, press, print and other media to showcase and promote all participating food trucks.
All food trucks must be on site and ready to serve prior to 1 p.m. and must remain on site throughout the duration of the festival. Food trucks will be permitted to leave the site when all attendees have left.
We appreciate a wide range of southern and global inspired cuisine that is best in class as well as trucks who offer a healthy meal option: vegetarian, vegan or low carb. Dessert trucks are welcome to submit. We really hate styrofoam. Please help us by using recyclable packaging!
We want attendees to be able to sample and experience a wide range of trucks throughout the day and would encourage small plate options, where feasible.
