So what is the best way to find festivals in your state or surrounding states, I have a couple of websites that I look at but they have none of the 2012 festivals up yet. I am really want to crank up my festival jobs this comming year. Thanks
Sorry all. I have updated my profile. I am in Alabama and lookign for festivals in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennesse. Thanks!!
That was our experience too. We did sausages at festivals for a couple of years and started small then got into the bigger festivals. We had a real advantage in that our partner owned a deli and what ever we did not use he sold in the deli so we made a profit from the get goJust getting in the door to one seemed to be the key to picking up more for us. We did our first one at the end of September and that has led to 3 more. It seems to me these festival organizers all know each other and travel to each others' to see what they have.
We do a couple of festivals a year. Our primary is BBQ samches but like mentioned it is hard to get into alot of festivals since alot of people already have the Q locked up. We do alot of different things from BBQ to fried oreos. That way if they don't need a BBQ then we can get in with something else
Fried Coke is always a good one. My favorite is fried pies.
Meat Pies?
