You might want to approach Red Fish/Blue Fish on the wharf that also has a mobile cart.I'm looking to develop a list of potential mobile food vendors for an upcoming Victoria event. Does anyone have suggestions or contacts who would be interested in bringing their product to a large audience for a one day (evening) event?
At one time Pig bbq joint had a mobile. You might want to ask them if they still have it or know who now owns it.
Good luck and let us know what kind of event you're organizing.

You might also approach some of the restaurants downtown that serve food to go. Or maybe a couple of them could team up to create a food cart if licencing isn't to difficult. I'd shop at a Habit/Mole/(What's that raw food place next door?) food cart.

I'm starting to recruit Luminara volunteers already, but would like a mod's blessing before I start a thread about recruitment. I'm not sure if it's cool to solicit stuff like that on the forums.

You're right that we can't have vendors in the park, but we are going to have sales on the St. Ann's property, as with last year. Just hoping to have more of it this time.

I think that would be fine - suggest you start a new thread for the event in Arts and Culture, and a post for requesting volunteers.

My wife, myself and my daughter had a great time!
St. Ann's is actually a great starting off point.

Glow ropes will probably be sold again at the entrances to the park (since they can't sell IN the park.)
Nothing is nailed down yet, but I personally hope that we can have some healthier options for food available. It would be nice to have some natural foods along side the carnival stuff.

The city laments a lack of festivals and vibrancy then does everything in its power to cripple and block all attempts at fun.
Welcome to Victoria...leave your fun at home.

Once we've got lantern making workshop dates set, I'll post those. We're also planning to have some "teacher classes" so that those who teach or run community groups can learn all the tricks to lantern making and then pass them on to their clients/students.
It's your festival, people.

“Cities like Portland are way ahead for us on this, so we’re looking hard at how to catch up and make sure we have great food offerings on our streets,” said Mr. Robertson, whose résumé includes developing his own line of food products, the Happy Planet line of organic juices and smoothies. The Oregon city, he added, “has made it possible for a lot of different types of food to be available on the street, and let the market determine what happens, and I think they’re seeing good success from that.”
I cringe thinking what her opinion is regarding Victoria's street vitality.Alma Flores, an economic planner for the Portland Bureau of Planning and Development, said it’s about time for a change in Vancouver’s street-food scene. The occasional visitor to Vancouver said it could use a bit of Portland’s food-cart variety, especially in its downtown core.
“Definitely your downtown is a bit on the dry side and could use a little street vitality,” she said.
