Acquire an established annual food and wine festival with 22 consecutive years of operating history, more than 11,000 attendees and a waterfront November event format. The opportunity includes the brand and trademarks, website and domain, proprietary event technology, operational playbooks and established sponsor, exhibitor and venue relationships.
Offered at $3,100,000, the event reports revenue of $1,264,571 and adjusted cash flow of $613,914. Sponsorship contributes approximately 55% of revenue, ticket sales 36% and exhibitor fees 9%, supported by more than 30 sponsors and 250 exhibitors annually. Owned marketing resources include a 130,000-contact email database and 55,000 social followers.
There are no employees or direct payroll. A separate management company owned by the founders supplies year-round sales, marketing and administration, with event-week labor contracted. The financial figures already reflect the management cost. A buyer must continue an agreed management arrangement or bring those functions in-house.
Tourism, port and international trade relationships support the event. The owners report approximately $315,000 of combined cash sponsorship from two airline-related partners for the 2026 festival, alongside a move to a two-day, single-venue format.
The founders seek a strategic events, hospitality, lifestyle or media buyer. Enquire for the event rights, sponsor agreements, management arrangements and transition options.
