2026 Annual Harvest Festival Food Trucks

25 Food Trucks will be part of the 98^th Annual Wendell Harvest Festival on October 3, 2026!

Trucks will be positioned in two areas, as they were in 2025:

• Up to 12 food trucks will be positioned in the Women’s Club Parking Lot, between 2d and 3d Streets, adjacent to Cypress Street.  These trucks will operate from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m, when The Embers will stop playing.  The trucks must use local electricity to power themselves.  No generators are allowed in this area.  The cost to be in this location is $350.  Town Public Works Staff will be available to help with electrical connections Friday afternoon from 1 to 4:30 pm to assist.  They will NOT be available Saturday.
• Up to 12 food trucks will be positioned on West Depot Street.  These trucks will operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Main Street will be reopened at 6 p.m.  There is no electricity available in this location.  Generators or other self-power must be used.
• REGISTRATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HARVEST FESTIVAL IS NOT CONFIRMATION OF PARTICIPATION.  YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF YOUR APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE IS ACCEPTED AND THEN PAYMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.  ACCEPTANCE WILL BE BASED ON SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING MEMBERSHIP IN THE WENDELL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PREVIOUS HARVEST FESTIVAL PARTICIPATION AND TYPE OF FOOD OFFERING.
• If possible, trucks should be positioned the afternoon of Friday, October 2nd.  Trucks must absolutely be in position no later than 7:00 a.m. October 3rd.  There will be much more traffic in the area the morning of the 3rd, as over 100 other vendors will be getting into position at the same time. 
• Prior to the festival, the Chamber will require a copy of either your permit or current sanitation inspection.
