Fiesta Arts Fair Food Vendor Information Fiesta Arts Fair (FAF) is a two-day event that takes place the first weekend of Fiesta San Antonio. The event is organized by UTSA in partnership with UTSA Alumni Association and is located on the UTSA Southwest historic campus and picturesque grounds in downtown San Antonio. This annual fundraiser attracts 10,000 patrons and supports the many community programs of UTSA Arts. Selected applicants will be issued a one-year agreement based on the terms of the FAF Food Vendors Guidelines, Rates & Policies and other mutually agreed upon terms to be executed after the selection process is completed. For profit food service vendors as well as non-profit organizations may apply. Selected vendors are required to be present during the entire time of the Fair. Concession Types, Sizes and Locations Fiesta Arts Fair will strive to offer a variety of food vendors in hopes of not overlapping food selections. FAF is a family-oriented event and therefore encourages food vendors with menu items targeted to adults as well as children. • All water and sodas will be sold exclusively by UTSA Fiesta Arts Fair. The following exceptions are allowed: coffee, tea, lemonade or aqua frescas, shakes or smoothies. Alcoholic beverages are sold through one contracted vendor only selected by UTSA Fiesta Arts Fair. • Food Vendors will have a variety of booth sizes and locations to select from and multiple concession locations exist throughout the footprint of the Fair and include parking for food trucks or trailers.
