Feeding Thousands at Music Festivals
Feeding thousands of people at music festivals requires careful planning and organization. Festival catering is a unique challenge due to the extended duration of the event and the need to serve a diverse range of food. The End of the Road festival, for example, feeds between 17,000 and 20,000 people with approximately 40 food stores offering a variety of cuisines. Festival food vendors face intense competition to secure a spot at popular festivals, with hundreds of applications received. The layout and zoning of food areas play a crucial role in creating the right atmosphere and meeting the specific needs of festivalgoers.
