Festivals
should be aware of this trend and make sure they are making this type of food
available. One food related area that most festivals miss is having a decent eating
area close to the food vendors. There is nothing more annoying then having to
juggle food, drinks, purses and packages or to have to stand up to eat. It is
such a simple thing to provide food area seating. I can’t understand why
festivals don’t offer this amenity.
One of the best examples of how to combine
all of these elements is the Winona Peach Festival. At the Winona Peach
Festival they have one large food court area. All the food vendors are located
in this one area. The food vendors, all of whom are manned and operated by
local community and service groups, offer a large variety of wholesome foods.
Visitors, after purchasing their food, can take it to a covered eating area! The
Winona Peach Festival is a great event to learn from and copy. Good food, at a
reasonable price, will always win the hearts of festival visitors!
Finally, I
have one further suggestion. When setting up an eating area, festival
organizers should include a wash-up facility. I am sure that this is one
element that would be very much appreciated by all visitors.
