WHY A STROMBOLI FESTIVAL? Evansville, Indiana is known for its unique version of the Stromboli sandwich. The sandwich is made on a buttered Italian roll with sausage, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheeses. This version was introduced to Evansville in the late 1950 s by the Dillard family. Today, a similar sandwich can be found at several dozen pizza restaurants and bars. Many adding unique twists in an effort to be identified as the Best Stromboli. In recent years and with the diverse growth of Evansville, several new restaurants have joined the scene claiming to have the authentic New York or Italian Stromboli. You could say there is certainly a bit of controversy brewing! Food vendors will each be given the opportunity to sell their Stromboli at their individually managed tent spaces during the festival. For reasons of sampling, food vendors will offer attendees a quarter ($2) or a whole sandwich ($8), encouraging attendees to try more vendors. Food will be prepared in their restaurants or food trucks and brought to the festival in approved containers to distribute and sell product during the hours of the festival. All food vendors will need to provide proof of insurance and follow all state and county health guidelines. PEPSI PRODUCTS Pepsi must be purchased on site through the stadium s account. Pricing is $24 per soda case and $18 per water for 20oz bottle ONLY cases. The price per 20oz is $2 to the attendees.
