Indoor Food Vendor Application

The 2023 Exhibition Hall will be open July 14th – 16th

Apply to be a featured food vendor during Indiana Black Expo’s (IBE) 52nd Annual Summer Celebration inside the Indiana Convention Center. Spaces are limited. All applicants MUST submit their application and menu with prices to eventsdirector@indianablackexpo.com. Indiana Black Expo will select and notify food vendors by Friday, April 7, 2023.
