With just over two months to go, the team behind the Kāpiti Food Fair have started their official countdown to event day – and they are sharing more about the vendor line up they have planned for December 4th.
“As the Fair is a pre-Christmas event, we provide an opportunity for our vendors to package their products for visitors to sample, buy gifts or to stock-up their pantry at home. Our goal is to always offer a varied line-up each year, and 2021 is no exception to this,” says co-owner Helene Judge.
The Fair offers a curated selection of items from all over New Zealand. Some examples of what has been on offer includes: Chocolates, sweets, fudges, turkish delight, licorice, toffee apples, jams, marmalade, jellies, relishes & pickles, pate, pastes & syrups, sauces, dressings, vinegars, dips & spreads, pestos & salsas, dukkah & preserves and a whole lot more.
“With 250 vendor sites filled with tasty treats to consume on the day and things to take home to your pantry, or to give away as lovely Christmas gifts, you will not be disappointed,” says Helene.
Kāpiti Food Fair co-owner Janine van Kradenburg says the list is varied and eclectic – “we want a wide range for our visitors to enjoy, and we only have four vendor sites left to book. Our previous Fairs have attracted artisan and commercial products including a large variety of ready to eat foods with every vendor adding to a positive visitor experience.
“To book one of our last vendor sites, please head over to the Fair’s website and tell us all about what you will do – https://kapitifoodfair.co.nz/Book-Vendor-Site
