240+
The total vendors in attendance at the 2026 event. That number is up from 185 at the previous year’s festival and it includes 39 food vendors!
150+
The total number of event volunteers who help with everything from dessert prep and cashiering to keeping the festival clean and welcoming.
They do it all: ingredients, cashier, serve up the desserts, keep the lines moving, host the dining tent, keep the festival very clean.
