Fest will take place Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12, 2026, at Camera Park and welcomes thousands of visitors each year. This is a great opportunity for local restaurants and food businesses to showcase their menu, connect with new customers, and participate in a long-standing community celebration.
Vendors interested in participating can download the 2026 Glendale Heights Fest Food Vendor Application Packet (PDF). To be considered, completed applications must be submitted along with a refundable $150 deposit by April 3, 2026.
Applications will be reviewed following the submission deadline by the Glendale Heights Founders’ Day Committee, and vendors will be notified of their application status by April 24, 2026. Selected vendors will receive additional event information and will be required to attend a mandatory in-person vendor meeting on Monday, June 1, 2026.
