OTW is currently taking both not-for-profit and commercial food vendor applications. If you are interested in being a vendor please contact Kristen@onthewaterfront.com
Commercial Food Vendor Application Contract
With over 30 food vendors throughout the Festival, there’s sure to be something to tempt your tastebuds! In fact, the plethora of Festival treats is one of the top reasons people make On the Waterfront part of their Labor Day plans. Tired of cooking? Let our fabulous not-for-profit organizations and commercial food vendors do the cooking for you and bring your family and friends down to the Festival for sweet and savory, mouth-watering delights!
Pepsi, the Official Soft Drink of On the Waterfront, has booths throughout the Festival where you can purchase soft drinks, juice, and water. There are also beer tents located in many of the stage venues where you can buy a cold beer or other alcoholic beverages including a variety of wines. Each music venue has a variety of food and beverage booths.
All of the Pepsi booths and beer tents are staffed by local not-for-profit organizations. You may purchase food and beverages with 50-cent tickets, which are available throughout the Festival grounds at OTW ticket booths which are also staffed by local not-for-profit organizations. Since 1986, area not-for-profit groups have raised $9.9 million at On the Waterfront! By purchasing tickets, food, and beverages, you are supporting our volunteering not-for-profit partners. Thank you for your contribution in giving back to the Rockford community!
