I love Good Food Fest! How can I support?
Good Food Fest is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors. Learn more about our 2026 sponsorship opportunities here.

Who runs Good Food Fest?
Good Food Fest was founded by Growing Roots Partners in 2019 and has been independently operated by our team ever since. Growing Roots Partners oversees every aspect of the event from start to finish, including vendor curation, sponsorships, marketing and promotions, logistics, operations, staffing, volunteer coordination, and overall event management. The event is led by Christy Campli (Good Food Fest Event Director & Owner of Growing Roots), Selah Cesario (Good Food Fest Project Manager & Growing Roots General Manager), and a dedicated team of passionate professionals who serve year-round on our Planning and Marketing Committees. Our Planning Committee members also serve as Crew Captains on event day, leading our staff and volunteers to bring Good Food Fest to life.

Exhibitor applications for GFF open annually on May 1 and remain open until mid-June. Applications for the 2026 event are now closed, and the waitlist is currently full.

How can I get involved as a volunteer or event staff?
