Please read all the booth descriptions carefully.

Each Asian community is allowed one Food Booth to represent their culture and must sell only food and/or beverages which identifies with that culture. A representative must attend one Asian Festival committee meeting to ensure understanding of policies and to present food menu. Utah Asian Festival will provide volunteers with meal certificates, valued at $5, which can be redeemed at any festival food booths.

You may not sell water, soda, or any other items already sold at the concession stands at South Towne Exposition Center. Each Food Booth will be 20’ X 20’.  Three tables and three chairs will be provided.  Each Food Booth must obtain all necessary licenses and permits, including the Food Handler’s Permit and the Health Department Food Booth Permit in order to be granted a Food Booth. 

To Qualify for Reimbursable Dollars: The Food Booth must be set up and have all menu items available to serve between 9:30 a.a. through 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, 2011. To receive Reimbursable Dollars, you must obtain a letter from Utah Asian Festival Booths Chair at the closing of the festival.

Non-profit Organization Booths are not allowed to sell any food, beverage or merchandise and must not promote or display anything that might appear to be controversial or political.  Utah Asian Festival Chair and Co-Chair reserves the right to determine what may or may not appear to be controversial or political and may remove anything or anyone who are not in compliance with their decision.
