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
