Food Vendors
Want to trade at Whitehorse events?
If you're a local food or beverage vendor interested in getting involved in our festivals and community events, we'd love to hear from you.
Each year, we run an Expression of Interest (EOI) drive for food vendors keen to serve thousands of visitors who attend our vibrant program of events.

Spring Festival
Be a part of Whitehorse's biggest and most beloved community event!
Usually run on the third Sunday in October, Spring Festival transforms the Whitehorse Civic Precinct and The Round into a hub of creativity, connection and local pride. The festival welcomes over 20,000 people for a day of free entertainment, live performances, workshops and activities for all ages.
Each year we invite community groups, not-for-profits and charities that service the Whitehorse community to express their interest in participating. Participants can run an information stall, take to the stage for a performance or do both.
Spring Festival is a community-focused event and not a platform for commercial businesses. We only consider applications from community groups, not-for-profits, and charities that support the Whitehorse community. If you're a business interested in getting involved, you can find more information on our sponsorship opportunities online.
