2026 Taste of Kitsap Vendor Application

2026 Taste of Kitsap Vendor Application
Taste of Kitsap is a high-energy culinary celebration showcasing the very best of Kitsap’s street food, beverage, and artisan scene. Hosted by Sunny Jack Events, this event brings together local restaurants, specialty food producers, food trucks, and makers for a flavorful day on the waterfront. With 8,000+ attendees and a powerful regional marketing reach, Taste of Kitsap is designed to connect vendors directly with an engaged, local audience ready to discover, taste, and support Kitsap businesses.

Taste of Kitsap is a curated, food-forward festival that celebrates the diverse flavors, culture, and creativity of Kitsap County. This event brings together a thoughtfully selected mix of food vendors, specialty makers, and local businesses to create an elevated culinary experience for our community and visitors alike.

Unlike traditional street fairs, Taste of Kitsap is intentionally curated. Vendors are selected to ensure a high-quality, diverse, and complementary lineup that highlights unique food offerings and innovative products. Our goal is to showcase the best tastes of the region while creating a vibrant and engaging festival atmosphere.

In addition to incredible food, Taste of Kitsap features a music lineup that prioritizes female-fronted bands, helping spotlight talented artists while creating an energetic and inclusive stage experience.

By participating as a vendor, you become part of a carefully crafted event that values quality, creativity, and community connection.

Date: August 7th from 5 PM to 9 PM and August 8th from 11 AM to 9 PM.

Location: The Bremerton Boardwalk - 140 Washington Ave / 2nd Street, Bremerton, WA, 98337

All food vendors must offer 1 tasting option priced at $9 or less. This is just a TASTE, not a full plate. A full menu is required as well. Sampling is highly encouraged for our packaged food vendors.

Competition:
- FAVORITE TASTE, DESSERT, AND SAVORY FOOD!
- FAVORITE PACKAGED FOOD!

Hold / Waitlist
Your application meets our criteria, but space in your category may currently be full. We may contact you if space becomes available.
