Thanks for your interest in the 2024 Niagara Grape & Wine Festival Events!

Before applying to participate as a culinary vendor, please review our 2024 Culinary Package found here and the Fire Safety Special Events Food Vendor Checklist required by the City of St. Catharines and the St. Catharines Fire Department, found here.

Application Process
  1. Vendors must complete and submit application online.
  2. 12-15 selected vendors will be notified of their acceptance by email. A Culinary Vendor Contract will be forwarded at time of acceptance.
  3. Vendors will be asked to provide the following:
    • Signed Culinary Vendor Contract by May 31, 2024.
    • Certificate of Insurance naming the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival as an additional insured by Sept. 1, 2024.
    • High-resolution logo and image (jpg, eps, or vector format) by July 1, 2024.
    • Social media handles and website link by July 1, 2024.
    • Completed Fire Safety Special Events Food Vendor Checklist by August 1, 2024.

Culinary vendors will be provided with a Square terminal to process transactions as the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival remains cashless for 2024. Vendors will set their own prices for food items (subject to NGWF approval) and retain 70% of their sales, with the remainder covering event and administrative costs of the Festival. This revenue split is in lieu of an upfront vendor participation fee.

  • Marketing and promotion of program
  • Professionally installed tent (10' wide x20' deep) with 2 electrical outlets
  • Booth signage: one coroplast sign with culinary vendor name to be installed by NGWF
