Green Cove Springs, FL – Florida’s most flavorful new event is officially open for business. The inaugural Clay County Hot Dog Festival, taking place on October 25, 2025, at the Clay County Fairgrounds, is now accepting vendor applications for local food trucks, artisans, and small businesses ready to serve up fun and flavor.

This highly anticipated festival is not just a celebration of hot dogs—it’s a full-day, family-friendly experience featuring live music, kids’ activities, games, contests, and one of the state’s most talked-about competitive eating showdowns. Now, event organizers are calling on Florida’s boldest small businesses to join the excitement and claim their space at the launch of what is expected to become an annual tradition.

“This is more than a food festival—it’s a community event designed to spotlight local talent,” said a representative for Wholesale Property Management Group LLC, the event organizer. “We’re looking for passionate vendors who want to grow their brand, connect with families, and be part of something unforgettable from day one.”

Vendor registration officially opened this week and includes options for food trucks, snack vendors, beverage carts, craft sellers, nonprofits, and branded merchandise booths. Early applicants will receive priority placement, premium exposure in the event layout, and featured mentions in pre-event marketing campaigns.

Vendors are encouraged to apply as soon as possible via the official event site.

This vendor opportunity is especially ideal for:

Local food vendors ready to serve classic and creative takes on hot dogs
Craftspeople looking to showcase handmade goods to a large weekend crowd
Boutique businesses wanting to test-market their product at a high-traffic fall event
Nonprofits seeking community engagement and visibility
Sponsor activations interested in brand exposure through booth presence

Each vendor package includes booth space, on-site support, marketing promotion, and access to a lively and hungry audience of thousands.

This unique, one-of-a-kind fall festival is expected to draw guests from across Northeast Florida—including families from Jacksonville, Green Cove Springs, and surrounding counties. In addition to a headline Hot Dog Eating Contest, the event will include:

Live music and entertainment throughout the day
Family zones with inflatables, crafts, and carnival-style games
Specialty food stalls and Florida-grown drink vendors
Branded photo ops with the official mascot, Frankie the Fast Dog
Contests, giveaways, and social media activations to keep guests engaged

For companies looking for even greater visibility, sponsorship packages are available at multiple levels. These include on-site signage, branded zones (such as hydration stations or game tents), social media shoutouts, and mentions in festival press and media coverage.

Interested businesses can request a full Clay County food event sponsorship package by contacting the event team directly.
