Event Date: Friday, 20 June 2025 | 5pm - 10pm
Location: Regent Square, George Town


George Town Council invites food and beverage vendors to express interest in participating in Solstice in the Square 2025, a winter celebration bringing warmth, music, and community together on the longest night of the year. This curated event is designed to highlight the balance of light and darkness with an inviting fireside atmosphere, live entertainment, and a selection of high-quality food and beverages.

We are seeking vendors who align with the event’s theme, offering seasonal, warming, and high-quality food and beverages that contribute to the cozy, intimate ambience of the night.
 

 

 

To ensure a diverse and high-quality selection of food and drinks, we encourage vendors who can offer:

  • Winter-inspired cuisine (e.g., open flame cooking, soups, stews, roasted meats, hot desserts, etc.)
  • Locally sourced ingredients and Tasmanian specialties
  • Warm and comforting beverages (e.g., mulled wine, hot cocktails, chai, specialty coffees)
  • Dietary-inclusive options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices
  • Creative presentation that enhances the aesthetic of the event
  • Family-friendly choices for $10
     
  • Operating Hours: 5:00 PM –10:00 PM
  • Bump-in Time: From 1:00 PM
  • Bump-out Time: From 10:30 PM
  • Stall Fees: To be confirmed upon selection
  • Power & Water: Limited access; vendors must be largely self-sufficient
  • Waste Management: Vendors are required to minimise waste and use compostable/biodegradable packaging where possible
  • Liquor Licensing: Vendors serving alcohol must provide Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificates 
     

Expressions of interest will be assessed based on:

  • Suitability of offering – alignment with the event’s theme and target audience
  • Quality and presentation of food and beverage offerings
  • Sustainability considerations – use of local ingredients and eco-friendly packaging
  • Experience and capability – ability to manage high volumes and provide excellent customer service
