Dear Fellow Restaurant Owner,
The Hospitality Group of Flagler Avenue would like to invite you to participate in the 7th
Annual New Smyrna Beach Food Festival. This event will take place on the evening of
Thursday, April 16th along Flagler Avenue. Flagler Avenue will be closed from Pine to So.
Atlantic Streets for the event from 5 to 9pm. Last year’s Spring Food Festival was attended by
over 7,000 people and this year we expect up to 8,000!
A variety of local restaurants are being invited to sell samples or “tastings” of their best dishes to
the large crowds that will be roaming up and down Flagler Ave. All items are to be priced
between $3 and $5 dollars. What better way to advertise your business and promote your menu
than to let someone buy scaled down portions of your best items!
You are welcome to advertise your restaurant at the event by any means you wish, including
banners, to-go menus, business cards, coupons, flyers, etc within your booth. Solicitation
outside your booth is prohibited. Selling of beverages is also prohibited.
There will also be a friendly competition sponsored by Southern Stone Events Group. “Best in
Show” trophy will be awarded in two categories this year, either “Best American Fare” or “Best
International Fare” to the favorite entry voted on by a panel of judges. In addition to bragging
rights the “Best in Show” winner will also receive local media interviews and social media
marketing.
All participating restaurants must have a current license and food handler’s cards on site. All
guidelines set forth by the Board of Health must be followed. (Please see Guide to Temporary
Food Service Events) In order to be part of our event program, we need the entry form
COMPLETED AND RETURNED BY APRIL 6th. This will be “menu of the day” and will
inform all the hungry crowds what you are serving. There will be a $50 fee for a booth space (10
x 10) which includes advertising. Larger sized booth spaces are also available. Tents are
suggested by the board of health. No electricity is provided. Participating restaurant must
provide every thing that is needed for the day.
