#SupportLocal
The 2020 Festival may be cancelled, but we hope that you will consider supporting vendors and small businesses in the community at this time.
Below you will find a number of local artisan and food vendors who remain open for business at this time, some of whom are offering Folk Fest at Home Specials!
If you have been a vendor at VFMF in the past and would like to be featured on our #SupportLocal page, please email jennifer@thefestival.bc.ca.
FOOD FEATURES
We are excited to announce that we have been working with Savoury Chef, a local catering company. They have put together some delicious offerings that are available to order in advance to help enhance your at-home festival experience.
When you place your order, you will be entered into a draw to win a Savoury Chef Gift Certificate for $100.00 that may be put towards any future orders!
Executive Chef Geoff Rogers and his staff believe that nothing tastes better than market-fresh produce, locally farmed meats and sustainably sourced seafood, and this dedication to feature the very best that BC has to offer is what drives the continual renewal of Savoury Chef’s menus for any occasions.
