Exhibitors

During festival week, CHSWF Exhibitors have the opportunity to participate in multiple events, providing our attendees with the opportunity to discover + engage with local + regional brands. At Culinary Village, the festival’s largest sampling experience, dedicated Exhibitor booths are activated for three days (March 6 – 8, 2026). Beverage, food, and artisanal brands showcase, sample, and in some cases sell their products to attendees. Beverage exhibitors may also apply to showcase and sample their products at Signature Events (March 4 – 8, 2026).
