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.

Applications will be accepted from both self-contained food trucks and food vendors operating out of a small marquee, and preference will be given to caterers selling food that is affordable, healthy and prepared on-site.

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.

Caterers must also supply their own coolrooms, however all arrangements must be approved by the festival prior to the event.

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

*Crew wristbands

*Waste disposal and access to fresh water

*Please note Riverboats does not take a percentage of gross sales and caterers are each responsible for their own cash management.
