Join us as a Food Vendor
What’s a festival without Festival Eats? With nearly 200,000 visitors each year Kempenfest relies on local service clubs like Kiwanis to sell food and beverages, and of course a great selection of food trucks and trailers. Offering a variety of food to meet many tastes, from gluten-free to vegan, from Asian to Mexican, Kempenfest has much to offer the massive crowds.
