The Riverboats Music Festival has been staged in Echuca-Moama since 2012. Patrons are permitted to bring their own food, with peak service times for on-site food vendors being dinner on the Friday night, lunch and dinner on the Saturday and brunch / lunch on the Sunday.

The 2025 Riverboats Music Festival will be staged from February 14-16, 2025.

Applications will be accepted from both self-contained food trucks and food vendors operating out of a small marquee. Approximately eight food vendors will be invited to participate, and preference will be given to caterers selling food that is affordable, healthy and prepared on-site. We strongly encourage local, Echuca-Moama based businesses to apply.

Caterers are permitted to sell soft drink in cans, however strictly no alcohol or bottled water may be sold, as the festival is plastic-bottle free. All menu and sale items must be approved in writing by festival management prior to the event.

As there is no on-site camping available, all caterers must arrange their own accommodation for the festival weekend at their own expense.

Licence Fees

A licence fee is paid by each food vendor which includes:

*Access to single-phase (10 or 15 amp) power - power requirements MUST be confirmed prior to arrival and all leads brought on-site MUST be tested and tagged prior to arrival

*Food storage space in a shared cool room

*Crew wristbands

*Waste disposal and access to fresh water

*Please note Riverboats does not take a percentage of gross sales and caterers are each responsible for their own cash management.
