2025 Food/Beverage Vendors and Picnicking
Photo by Nina Galicheva
Please feel free to enjoy picnicking on the lawn at our event! We recommend bringing your own food, non-alcoholic beverages, and picnicking supplies (vintage or modern).
Please keep the grounds clean by picking up after yourself, including trash and food wrappings.
Style points: lawn chairs that are wood, picnic baskets made of wood (see this photo on the left) will make your picnic spread look fabulous. Blankets that are more traditional looking, such as gingham, checked flannel which will look more appropriate on the lawn. Bright neon colors are perfect for that retro 80s BBQ you’re attending on a different weekend this summer. But feel free to invent your stylish picnic spread for this new decade of Twenties…(Reimagine the Jazz Age). Also please note: we have a contest and award prizes to some of the most copacetic picnic spreads on the Grand Allee. Stay tuned for more info on how we’re going to do this, this year!
A limited number of food and alcohol vendors will also be on the grounds to purchase from. See our vendor list below.
FOOD VENDORS
Kefi Catering
A variety of American classics: burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken and more.
Down River Ice Cream
Down River Ice Cream crafts their ice cream, using a proprietary mix formula that includes only five ingredients: Cream, milk solids, pure cane sugar, a very small amount of corn syrup solids - which give their product its "chew", and an even smaller amount of Guar as a natural stabilizer. Out of respect for the dietary requirements of their kosher customers, they no longer use gelatin.
For more information, see their website here: https://downriver-ice-cream.business.site/
Blue Water Kitchen (Saturday-only)
Fresh, locally-sourced sandwiches, baked goods, gluten-free cakes prepared daily in the Great House Kitchen.
The Lobster Roller
