Good Times Funding Good Works For 18 Years - Matthews Alive Festival

Food Court

It’s just not a true festival experience without “festival food”! When you think back to your youth, going to the fair, the memories are filled with the smells of cotton candy, candy apples, and corn dogs. Come on down this Labor Day weekend and allow us to resurrect those memories of days gone by, of a simpler time, and where your biggest decision of the day can be “What toppings should I put on my funnel cake?”

The Matthews Alive Festival offers a wide variety of food and drinks from over 30 food vendors. Food vending is conveniently located on the main street section of the festival with several others located in the Kid's Connection area. Whether its kettle korn, blooming onions, Italian ice, funnel cakes or a full compliment of meals, you'll find it at our "food court"! So come on down, because at Matthews Alive….calories don’t count!
