The Vienna Oktoberfest event provides an ideal venue to showcase your business to tens of thousands of attendees of all ages.  This is an incredibly affordable way to market your business to the VA/MD/DC communities and have a great time doing it!

Please be advised that we will be prioritizing food vendors in the following way:
Priority 1: Are you a Vienna Business Association member?
Priority 2: Is your business in Vienna?
Priority 3: Is your application complete & do we have payment?
Priority 4: Are your food choices unique? (we limit duplication of menus/vendors)

Over the past 14 years, booth space has sold out, so please don't delay or you could miss out on this fabulous opportunity! The deadline to submit your application/ paperwork and payment is Tuesday, September 10, 2024, however, get your applications in early  as we do sell out every year and we avoid conflicts/duplications with other vendors.

Booth Space Prices 

Festival Food  Vendor spaces are open to all Fairfax County approved food vendors and are available in 10x20 and 10x30 rental spaces.   No spaces larger than 10x 30ft will be accepted.  You must be current on all meals tax filing/payments to the Town of Vienna.
