Food festivals are a great way for foodies to try new flavors, find their next favorite dish, or simply enjoy some of their most beloved cuisines in a festive atmosphere. On the flip side, food festivals are also an exciting opportunity for food vendors to reach new customers and spread the word about what they have to offer. 

If you’re a food vendor planning to attend a food festival soon, take the time to make sure your food stall is everything you need it to be. Most vendors at outdoor markets know that the perfect food stall starts with the right canopy tent. However, did you know that there are so many other tent accessories that can help you optimize your food stall?

High-Quality Construction and Materials 

At E-Z UP, you can trust that each canopy tent is made with the most durable materials available, from the base of the frame to the tip of the canopy. However, we offer much more than long-lasting tents. 

With a variety of canopy tent options and accessories, we make it possible for vendors at food festivals to maximize their output and present a very professional brand image, including custom printing your name or logo on the sides and top. This way, you’ll truly get the most out of your food festival experience. 

Why Are Food Stalls Important?

The quality of your stall will affect how efficiently and effectively you’re able to serve your customers. Our team at E-Z UP should know, as we revolutionized the food festival tent in 1983 with our invention of the first-ever one-piece expandable pop-up canopy tent.

First, Identify Your Needs

As long as you have one of our durable festival stalls, you’re off to a great start. Now, though, it’s time to check out some of our food stall accessories to see which items would align with your branding and help increase customer engagement with your brand. 

Sidewalls, Half Walls, and Railskirts

Canopy tents do a great job of protecting your employees and products from any weather that’s coming from directly overhead. But what about when you need some additional coverage on the sides of your food stall?

Sidewalls are designed to cover an entire side of your tent. Depending on whether you want to be able to communicate with customers through the sidewall, you can choose to use one with a mesh window or one that offers complete coverage from the elements.

Similarly, half walls make it easy to customize the amount of coverage you prefer on the side of your tent. The half wall extends halfway down the frame from the bottom of the tent canopy, providing partial coverage. It allows you to block the weather while still being able to see and interact with passersby. 

Running a food stall means having lots of ingredients, cookware, and other materials in your tent at all times. Railskirts make it easier for vendors to hide these items and keep them safe from weather exposure. At the same time, they provide a neater and more professional look. Railskirts are roughly the same size as a half wall, but they cover the bottom half of the tent side rather than the top. 

Customized Table Covers

The more your branding is visible to your customers, the better your brand awareness will be — and the more likely they are to remember you once they leave the food festival. 

With E-Z UP, you can custom print branded table covers to proudly display your branding to any customers browsing your menu or paying for their meal. And if you want to make your setup more convenient, you could even print your menu items, specials, and other important info right on the table cover. 

Custom-printed A-Frame Signs, Banners, and Flags

Your customized canopy tent and accessories are sure to make your food stall stand out from the rest. However, adding items to catch the attention of festival-goers will make potential customers even more interested in trying your products. 

For instance, A-frame signs can display all kinds of information, from special menu items to the details of a unique sale your business is running. These types of signs, as well as standing flags and banners, are all great ways to entice potential customers to your booth.  

Director’s Chairs

Do you need a spot for your employees to rest in between customers? Customized director's chairs are more than a comfortable seat for your crew. These seats also offer another opportunity to increase brand awareness and support an overall sense of brand cohesion throughout your food stall.

Accessories for Stability

You never know when the wind might kick up, which is why anchoring your tent firmly to the ground is essential. Invest in some weight bags and stakes to make sure the stability of your tent isn’t at risk should the weather take a turn.
