To ensure a seamless experience for all, Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from noon onwards, allowing vendors ample setup time from 12-5 pm.
The cost to exhibit is $50 and must be received by August 1, 2023. If space permits, late exhibit registration will cost an additional $10.00.
Similar to previous years, The Taste will operate on a ticketing system. Guests will enjoy an exclusive early bird price of $40.00 to attend the event, receiving 20 tickets upon entry (with the option to purchase additional tickets). Please note that the ticket price raises to $60.00 after Aug 1, 2023.
Each vendor is responsible for setting the ticket price for their products, and $1.50 per ticket collected will be paid to vendors and issued on behalf of the Fort Macleod & District Chamber of Commerce. Please have your menu items and ticket prices submitted to the Fort Macleod Chamber by Aug 15th, 2023, as signage will be created on your behalf.
