Food Vendor Expressions of Interest
Picnic in the Park is one of Adelaide’s most loved queer community events, drawing thousands of people to Whitmore Square / Iparrityi on Sunday 22nd of November. We’re looking for food vendors who bring something special to the table!
Applications open 16th of June and close 1st of September. Spots are limited, so don’t leave it too late.
Before You Apply
The EOI form is your chance to show us what makes your offering stand out. Submitting doesn’t guarantee a spot, but we review all applications and get in touch to confirm participation.
Our beverage offering is covered by our alcohol partners, so we’re not accepting applications for bar service or drinks-only stalls.
