Attracting food lovers from across the region, Jersey Eats: A Taste of New Jersey is not just a festival — it's a golden opportunity for vendors to shine and expand their business.

We still have a handful of spots left for vendors at our upcoming festival, which will be held at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Here are the top five reasons to be a vendor at Jersey Eats this fall.

Each of our past events this year had more than 3,000 attendees, AKA new customers for vendors.

Jersey Eats is a platform that bridges local businesses with foodies all over the state, showcasing what makes each business unique.

Due to the amount of new connections our festival brings small businesses, our past vendors have seen an increase in sales .

"I sold out both days, being the best weekend I ever had in sales (to date)," Madelyn Colon of Maggie's Munchies said of her experience at Jersey Eats in March. "I also gained the confidence to do other big events and continue on this new journey as a small business owner."

There is significant digital exposure that comes with vending at an NJ.com event.

You'll be part of our email campaigns, newsletters, s, photo galleries, and social media platforms to reach even more food enthusiasts in the state.

Jersey Eats allows you to forge valuable connections within the food industry, expand your network and create opportunities for future collaborations.

"Participating in Jersey Eats allowed us to forge valuable connections within the food industry," Anthony Gomez of Anthony the Weenie Genie said.
