BOOTH INFO

Please consult with your Wanderlust point of contact regarding your Booth//Truck footprint and BOH needs.

Unless you have arranged to bring your own tent, you will be provided a white, festival-style high-peak tent or a white, fiesta-frame style tent at the size specified in your contract. It is recommended you bring zip ties to help secure tent walls at night. If you have arranged to bring your own tent, you are responsible for bringing your own walls and weights.

Because we are situated within the host site village, there may be restrictions on having your tent walls in use during the day if they block any store or restaurant fronts. There may be restrictions on banner height.

Wanderlust-provided tents (if applicable) are 8′ tall.


TABLES/CHAIRS/POWER

Tables, chairs, and access to electricity can be rented by vendors from the festival. Please complete the Food Vendor Needs Form and submit your order by 30 Days Prior to Festival.

For electricity, you will need to bring any additional power strips, splitters, and extension cords. Be sure your extension cords are appropriate to handle the Amps of your equipment. 


INTERNET + MOBILE SERVICE

Internet access is not provided by the festival.

If high speed internet access is mission critical, we recommend you bring your own 4G/LTE hotspot(s) as backup. The quality of mobile 4G/LTE access on the festival grounds varies by carrier, phone/hotspot type, and the location of the event, so please discuss with your Wanderlust point of contact in advance so we can make appropriate recommendations. Regardless of your connection type, Wanderlust cannot guarantee 100% Internet uptime at any event.


ICE/COLD STORAGE

Please place orders for ice and cold storage on the Food Vendor Needs Form.  Space in our cold storage is available for $150 per 4×4 pallet. Ice delivery is available ranging from $5 – $10 per 20lb bag depending on event location. You will be billed for the requested ice and cold storage after the event.

Cold storage is not available in Canada. 


FOOD & BEVERAGE PERMITTING 

Municipalities always require a hand washing station, and often require thermometers, warewashing sinks and/or food handler certifications depending on the complexity of your production. Please always remember to print and bring any required documents on-site.


HAND WASHING STATIONS

Hand washing stations within the booth are your responsibility.

Here are basic instructions for constructing a Hand Washing Station.


OVERNIGHT SECURITY

All display cases, racks, merchandise and equipment that are left overnight in your booth are your responsibility. The Festival and/or host site will provide roving overnight security, but expressly assumes no responsibility for any loss or damages that might occur.


GREENING GUIDELINES

Approved items including paper cups, compostable plates and more can be found here.

Use of compostable products is mandatory at all Wanderlust Events. In order to comply with these greening initiatives, styrofoam and plastic food service ware is not permitted. We appreciate your support in our recycling and composting program!

Please break down your cardboard and separate recyclables from trash at your booth. If you need bags, or require extra bins or service, please ask your onsite Wanderlust contact or a green team member. Clear or white bags are for recycling and black bags are for trash. All food and compost must go in compostable receptacles lined with either green or clear bags.

Please DO NOT leave anything behind. This includes weights for your tents such as cinder blocks, sand from sand bags, pallets, carpets, décor, etc.

Wanderlust will place trash/recycling receptacles throughout the village, however any receptacles within the booth are your responsibility.

Please be respectful of the festival grounds by leaving no trace behind.


If you have any additional questions, please contact your Wanderlust point of contact directly. Contact information is below.

Thank you for participating in the 2018 Wanderlust Festival Series. We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

The Food & Beverage Team
