Clone of 2025 Fest in the West Food & Beverage Application

Fest in the West Food and Beverages Application

Thank you for your interest in our event, Fest in the West. The event will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 11am- 4 pm at Mills Park, 441 Mills Park Road, Cary, NC 27519. This application is for Beverages and Food Trucks ONLY. We are looking for a variety of foods and beverages and are excited that you wish to be a part of our event!
A word about Food:

Before reading on, please note that we do NOT accept vendors who cook in tents. Under no conditions will we accept that. Your business must already comply with Wake County Health codes and be a certified vendor with the Health Department. NO EXCEPTIONS. The requirements placed on us for tents by the health department are simply too much work and too costly for us to handle.
This is the 9th year we will produce Fest in the West for the residents of West Cary and western Wake County. We partner with the Town of Cary to produce a top-quality event that is safe, busy, and FUN! The festival will supply power for your truck with a hook-up to a whisper generator. This keeps the area less noisy and cooler for a more enjoyable experience for everyone. That is why we request your power needs and plug type in the questions below.

In the past, we have had upwards of 5000 attendees. We plan to have non-alcoholic beverage options plus 6-8 food trucks.

To be considered for our event, please fill out all the required info (marked with the red star). The $15 application fee is due when you submit this application.

The deadline for this application is February 1, 2026.
