We just completed our 7th season at ours!

These are just a few threads. Use the search function for the catering section and type in "festivals".

Keep in mind that ours is the largest in the sooutheast and one of the largest in the country. After seven seasons people know our food. It was a slow start the first few years.

YMMV..................................

Check the threads and my website. I started at a market in January. It will also help your catering business if you have one.

Start out slow and adjust quantities and ratios to meet demand.

bbq combos are a good upsell approach.
