To Whom It May Concern:
We are now accepting food concession vendor applications for the 2024 Hampton Classic (August 25 - September 1). The Hampton Classic takes place on approximately 60 acres of property, approximately 1,500 horses are exhibited, and attracts between 40-50,000 people throughout the week.
Food concession vendors are selected by a committee decision. We try to maintain a variety of breakfast and lunch items as well as desserts. If you are interested in joining us this year, we may have availability in our main food area for 10' x 10' tents. There are also food truck/tented spots in other areas around the show grounds. If accepted, the Hampton Classic will determine and assign the location for your concession.
It is required that your concession be open all eight days of the show and food trucks must remain in their assigned spot for the week (unless otherwise agreed upon). The Suffolk County Health Department and potentially town fire inspectors will inspect all food concessions before the show begins. If you have been cleared to open, you may also be open for business Friday, 8/23, and Saturday 8/24, as there will be riders, vendors and staff on the showgrounds
Applications are due by May 1, 2024. If you are accepted, you will be invoiced for your fee with 50% deposit due by July 1 and your balance due by August 1. Please know that failure to pay in full by August 1 or failure to provide all required Suffolk County Health Department permits, proof of insurance, and/or NYS Sales Tax Certificate of Authority will result in cancellation of your space and forfeiture of your payment.
Best regards,
