How To Participate

Participation in Food Fest is open to registered student clubs that are active during Fall 2026.

To participate, clubs must complete and submit the official Food Fest Registration Form.

A maximum of 40 clubs will be accepted. Registration is approved on a first-come, first-served basis until all available spots are filled.

The registration deadline is Sept. 4. Clubs are encouraged to register early to secure a spot in the event.

How It Works

Active clubs that wish to participate submit a proposed menu item or items, including ingredients and pricing, for approval. Pre-sale menus are made available several weeks before the event, with tickets also available on site the night of Food Fest.

Participating students receive guidance on proper food handling and safety. Each club is responsible for the preparation, cooking, marketing, and sale of its food items at its booth during the event.

Proceeds from each club booth support club activities and supplies throughout the academic year.

Food Handling

Student Leadership & Services will ensure event operations are in compliance with BYU–Hawaii, and the Oahu Department of Health Food Safety rules and regulations. Clubs are responsible for ensuring that all food provided complies with the Department of Health Food Safety standards. Food Permits have been issued by the Oahu Department of Health Food Safety Branch for each food booth. Members of BYU–Hawaii Food Services will monitor and verify that food is maintained at appropriate temperatures during this event.
