Catering Applications
Please note catering applications for Riverboats 2024 have now closed.
The Riverboats Music Festival has been staged in Echuca-Moama since 2012. Patrons are permitted to bring their own food, with peak service times for on-site food vendors being dinner on the Friday night, lunch and dinner on the Saturday and brunch / lunch on the Sunday.
The 2024 Riverboats Music Festival will be staged from February 16-18, 2024.
Applications will be accepted from both self-contained food trucks and food vendors operating out of a small marquee. Approximately eight food vendors will be invited to participate, and preference will be given to caterers selling food that is affordable, healthy and prepared on-site. We strongly encourage local, Echuca-Moama based businesses to apply.
Caterers are permitted to sell soft drink in cans, however strictly no alcohol or bottled water may be sold, as the festival is plastic-bottle free. All menu and sale items must be approved in writing by festival management prior to the event.
As there is no on-site camping available, all caterers must arrange their own accommodation for the festival weekend at their own expense.
Licence Fees
A licence fee is paid by each food vendor which includes:
- Access to single-phase (10 or 15 amp) power - power requirements MUST be confirmed prior to arrival and all leads brought on-site MUST be tested and tagged prior to arrival
- Food storage space in a shared cool room
