Only completed applications will be reviewed. Please refer to the Submission Checklist in the next section.
Food Truck Applications must include the following:
Menu - Tell us what you are planning to serve during the festival! It’s okay if it changes a little as we get closer to the event, but this is used to ensure the festival has a variety of food offerings. Be specific and submit extra information, if needed. The Festival reserves the right to ask you to adjust your menu items to reduce duplication at the event. Approved food trucks are encouraged to come prepared with enough supplies/products to avoid running out of food.
Pictures of some of your food items
Pictures of your food truck
Company logo - used in promotions
Accurate dimensions of your food truck/trailer - length, width, and where your serving window is located
Please note: food trucks are not allowed to sell bottled water or canned soda/juice beverages. Beverages must be a part of your truck’s cuisine and must be included on your menu for pre-approval.
Food Truck Applications will be evaluated and chosen based on the type of food expected to be served at the event. The festival aims to offer a wide variety of food options in the Pasha Hawaii Food Court. We try to avoid duplication of food types/dishes as much as possible, and include vegan, vegetarian, and other “healthy” options, in addition to local favorites.
