About our event
Foodees Food & Culture Festival is one of the largest touring food festivals in the country, hosting more than 30 events each year across the Southeastern United States. Each weekend event draws tens of thousands of attendees—families, food lovers, and cultural explorers—who come out to experience incredible cuisine, handcrafted art, and unforgettable moments. While most festivals focus on music or performance, Foodees is all about food, family, and community. Every Foodees event brings together over 60 food trucks and vendors offering a wide range of flavors—from gourmet street eats to international dishes—alongside more than 40 artisan and craft vendors. We build immersive, interactive environments that include attractions like massive foam parties, our all-ages Foodees Fun Park, curated food challenges, and hands-on activities that transform a simple vendor market into a real cultural experience. Foodees is also designed to be accessible. We do not charge admission. This ensures huge, consistent foot traffic and makes our events a powerful opportunity for brands looking to build authentic, face-to-face connections with real communities. Whether we’re in a large urban center or a smaller town, Foodees becomes the weekend’s main event—and sponsors get to be part of that spotlight. This is not a logo-on-a-poster type of partnership. Our sponsors are woven into the event—from physical branding on zones like the Foam Party and Fun Park, to digital promotion, stage announcements, and social media content reaching millions of viewers. For companies looking to reach families, foodies, and active spenders in the Southeast, there’s nothing else quite like Foodees.

10000+Sponsorship Opportunities
At every Foodees festival, sponsors are front and center in an experience that brings in thousands—sometimes tens of thousands—of families, food lovers, and everyday consumers. These aren’t passive impressions. This is hands-on engagement, face-to-face exposure, and the kind of brand interaction that sticks.
Sponsors at Foodees aren't buried on the back of a flyer. They're featured on signage that thousands see every hour, promoted across digital campaigns with millions of views, and tied directly into live, joy-filled moments like the Foam Party, the Fun Park, the food contests, and every major memory that guests walk away with. Whether it's a sponsor-branded game zone, a tasting tent, or a family hydration station, your name doesn’t just appear—it becomes part of the story.
Most importantly, Foodees doesn’t just run events—we build cultural touchpoints. We create places where communities come together, where brands are welcomed, and where sponsorship doesn’t feel like an ad—it feels like participation.
If a brand wants to be visible, respected, and unforgettable in a sea of stale marketing, this is where they show up. Because at Foodees, we don’t sell space. We build presence. And presence moves people.

Foodees was founded in 2022 by Ron Kennedy and Tricia Croft, a husband-and-wife team who believed that food has the power to bring people together in meaningful, lasting ways. What started with a small idea and a bank account that barely held $800 has grown into one of the most ambitious and fastest-scaling food festival tours in the Southeastern United States.
Ron and Trish launched Foodees from a place of urgency and grit, working from a hotel room with no safety net—just a vision to unite communities through food, family-friendly experiences, and cultural inclusion. Their first few events were scrappy but heartfelt. Over time, they built a loyal base of vendors, attracted thousands of attendees, and expanded to dozens of cities.
Today, Foodees hosts more than 30 large-scale events each year, drawing crowds as large as 200,000 in some markets. It’s a story of perseverance, passion, and purpose. Every event they produce still carries the original DNA: celebrate good food, support small businesses, and create spaces where people of all backgrounds feel welcome and seen.
Ron drives logistics and operations with high energy and relentless problem-solving. Trish leads with strategy, branding, and creative direction, shaping the company’s growth and guiding its core mission. Together, they’ve built Foodees into more than a festival—it’s a movement rooted in authenticity, built by two people who refused to quit.
