Tulsa Mayfest seeks food trucks for 2013 festival

Mayfest organizers have jumped on the food truck bandwagon this year and they are seeking applications from food truck cooks.

The 41st anniversary festival is scheduled for May 16-19. This is the first time in Mayfest’s history that food trucks are invited to join the traditional food vendors, organizers announced.

Mayfest features approximately 30 food vendors during the four-day festival, and includes treats such as corn dogs, funnel cakes and more.

“Each year, Mayfest seeks to provide the best visual and performing artists to Tulsa,” said Heather Pingry, executive director of Tulsa International Mayfest. “Providing the best festival food enhances the experience for attendees and artists. The Tulsa community now offers great food trucks, and we are excited to incorporate them into the festival.”

In an effort to be as environmentally responsible as possible, the Mayfest team asks that food truck vendors try to refrain from using Styrofoam, use recycled products when possible and recycle any applicable plastic or aluminum.

The selection committee will review applications based upon the quality of foods, variety of menu, and pricing; food service experience with large crowds; needs of food preparation and size of facility requirements; past compliance with county and state health regulations; and previous experience and successful operation at other major festivals.

All food truck applications are due by Friday, Feb. 8, 2013

For questions regarding the application process, please email comments@tulsamayfest.org or call the Mayfest office at (918) 582-6435.

Food Writer Nicole Marshall Middleton joined the Tulsa World in May 1993 after graduating from Oklahoma State University. She has covered crime, city government and general assignment beats during that time - but mostly crime. But when she isn’t at work, Nicole is a devoted food hobbyist. She enjoys meal planning and cooking with her husband, Steve, every day of the week and on holidays it’s a family affair. When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
