🛍️ Explore Our 2025 Festival Vendors
This year’s festival brings together over 100 vendors offering everything from artisan crafts and boutique shopping to delicious food, sweet treats, and refreshing beverages.
But let’s be honest — one of the biggest attractions at the Oatmeal Festival is the Food Court.
🍔 The Food Court – Come Hungry, Stay Longer
The Oatmeal Festival Food Court isn’t just about grabbing a bite — it’s where the heart of the festival beats. With 14 carefully selected concession vendors, it’s the perfect place to relax, refuel, and savor local flavors.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll find this year:
- Barrio Squeeze – Handmade lemonades and limeades with fresh flavor twists like strawberry, mango, ube, and chamoy pickle.
- Confetti Crush – Freshly made-to-order dirty sodas and flavored water.
- Cork This, Tap That LLC – Beer and wine on tap, frozen wine drinks, sodas, and bottled water.
- Cousins Maine Lobster – As seen on Shark Tank — serving lobster rolls, lobster tacos, lobster grilled cheese, and their famous lobster tots.
- Hill Country Kettle Korn – Fresh kettle corn and tea.
- Hot Diggity Dawgz – Hot dogs, nachos, Frito pies, slushies, and cold drinks.
- Lemondoodle – Over-the-top treats: cotton candy, fruit cups with toppings, chocolate-dipped strawberries, berries & cream, Dubai chocolate strawberry cups, oatmeal strawberry cups, and chocolate bars.
- Miss Vickie’s Kitchen – Burgers, falafel, loaded baked potatoes, chips, frozen tea, and even grilled banana bread.
- P & B Ice Cream Shop – Confectionary sweets and novelty ice cream.
- Patchworks Coffee – Espresso drinks, Red Bull mixes, and southern teas.
- Ricky B’s Concessions – Sausage wraps, chicken nuggets, fries, shaved ice, and drinks.
- Texas Bluebonnet Express – Alligator on a stick, shrimp on a stick, fries, loaded fries (3 topping options), and canned drinks.
- The M6 – Beer and cocktails.
- The Sparrow Mobile Bar – Specialty cocktails, beer, and bougie sodas.
🍷 New This Year: Sip & Stay a While
For the first time, the Food Court will also feature alcohol concession trailers — serving beer, wine, frozen cocktails, and specialty drinks. It’s the perfect spot to grab food, sit back, and enjoy a drink or two with friends.
🍇 Meanwhile, our local wineries and distillery — including Fire Oak Distillery, Rusty Hook Winery, Texas Exits Winery, and Texas Legato Winery — will have their own vendor tents elsewhere on the festival grounds, offering tastings, glasses of wine to enjoy, and even bottles of wine to take home.
🌙 Food Court After Dark
Another exciting addition this year: select concession vendors will remain open through the street dance. That means you can fuel up before the music starts, grab a late-night snack between sets, or keep sipping cocktails while you dance under the stars.
👉 Come early, enjoy the food court all day, and stick around into the evening — there will be plenty to eat and drink!
