We only have limited space for food vendors due to the limited access to power in the park. Vendor fees are $700 for the weekend plus the temporary license fee payable to the City of Columbia upon inspection prior to the festival. Vendors will pay the fee to the Columbia Art League if they are accepted.
To keep the food offering varied and fresh at Art in the Park, priority will be given to the following vendors at the 2025 festival:
- Local (Columbia-based) food retailers
- Diversity of food
- Healthy food options
- Vendors that can vend from a tent set-up in compliance with Columbia public health department guidelines.
- Must use sustainable/recyclable serving containers. No styrofoam allowed at Art in the Park.
We have space available at the festival for both food truck and food tent set ups. Food tents are given a 12x12 booth space to accommodate a 10x10 foot tent set up.
Please note: You must re-apply every year to be considered for Art in the Park. Thank you!
