Kapiti Food Fair getting ready for a big day of foodie heaven

he Kapiti Food Fair closed for vendor registration back in August.  “We are now working on the Site Map and whew it’s a big job with our footprint increasing this year to 250+ sites.  35% of sites are local Kapiti folk cooking and packaging what they do best.  We are going to colour code local vendors on the Site Map this year as we think visitors will like that.  The Liquor Zone, with craft beers, distilleries, liquors, ports, wines and cider has taken an exciting leap of growth this year and we also have an Italian Zone organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce based in Wellington,” says Fair owners Helene Judge and Jeanine van Kradenburg.

The Kapiti Food Fair opened for vendor registration back in April and sites have been snapped up quickly.  The total site footprint this year is increasing to 230+ and there are less than 10 sites left!  “We are delighted with the mix of returning and new vendors and there is definitely something for everyone,” says Fair owners Helene Judge and Jeanine van Kradenburg.

The Kapiti Food Fair is calling for registrations of interest by talented performers to be part of the 2019 entertainment programme on Saturday 30th November. Entertainment is important at the Fair to create a fun & vibrant atmosphere for visitors to stay longer and enjoy their day out with family and friends while consuming what is on offer from a large variety of food & beverage vendors.

There are 3 stages: Beach FM Stage, ZEAL Busking Zone and Coastella Tiny Town Studio. Please message the Fair (https://www.facebook.com/KapitiFoodFair/) with your performance name, what you love to do and why you would like to be part of the Fair in 2019. In return the Fair offers a fun day out, free entry and a donation for your time. All registrations of interest by 10 Jun please so we can build the programme and confirm sooner rather than later.
