Food Vendor
2025 Food Vendor Application
Applications open February 3, 2025
–
One of our missions is to give back to the community, so we do require each for-profit organization to pair up with a non-profit organization. The profit split is then discussed and decided upon between those two groups. If you are a non-profit looking to purchase a booth, you can do so without pairing up with a for-profit.
If you are a non-profit looking to partner with a food vendor, please fill out this form. We’ll share this information with any food vendors looking for a non-profit that aligns with their mission.
Mandatory Vendor Meeting:
Tuesday, August 27th
4:00 – 5:30 PM
Pusey Room at the Warch Campus Center
711 E Boldt Way, Appleton WI, 54911
Octoberfest is on, rain or shine! No refunds will be provided, so come prepared for any weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, as a non-profit, you can purchase a booth spot on your own. You will need to provide all materials (tent, table, etc.) in addition to equipment to make/sell/store your food and drink items, but all profits go back to you.
Because one of our missions is to give back to the community, we do require each for-profit organization to pair up with a non-profit organization. The cost and profit split is then discussed and decided upon between those two groups. Once that’s decided, download and fill out an application together and mail it and a check to the Chamber office.
