APPLY · FOOD VILLAGE

Nourish
the village.

At the heart of Wild Roses Festival, our vibrant Food Village nourishes a community of 1,000 women over three unforgettable days. We're seeking female-led food trucks and pop-up kitchens that bring passion, creativity, and heart to the table. From fresh, nourishing meals and vibrant grab-and-go bites to delicious comfort food, we're looking for diverse culinary offerings that celebrate good food, thoughtful ingredients, and the joy of gathering around a shared table.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Good to Know

We curate for a varied menu with little overlap, so share your full menu.

​A valid food permit is required, and your crew must be women.

The Wild Roses Cafe holds exclusive coffee rights, so no hot or iced coffee sales.

Stock up before you arrive. Many food vendors have sold out of food during the weekend.

The nearest dump station and water refill are in Evansburg, about 10 minutes away.

Please be prepared to serve through Sunday, so every rose is fed all weekend.
