Festival vendors are a food lover’s dream, offering everything from savory meals to delicious baked goods that make it impossible to leave hungry. Last weekend’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival was no exception with over 50 food vendors competing for your attention. Whether you were enjoying the pork adobo rice bowl from Mano Po, the chicken wontons from Zindrew Wonton Shop, or a watermelon agua fresca from Cena Vegan, it was hard to be disappointed. There was no shortage of food to keep you fueled throughout the day.
ICYMI, The Daisy Chain Fields Festival took over the internet as a one-day, women-dominated benefit phenomenon that happened this past weekend. On August 29, Olivia Rodrigo led the festival with a female driven lineup of iconic stars like Doechii, Chappell Roan, Mitski, and Garbage. There were also numerous special guest appearances by music legends Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan, and Alanis Morissette.
However, the music wasn’t the only thing keeping the dancing going. With more than 50 food vendors to fill the festival, majority of food trucks were women-owned businesses with vendors offering a variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. All women-run vendors were marked with a special flower symbol so festivalgoers could easily spot and support them.
The festival brought together a diverse range of backgrounds from Asian to Latin businesses appearing next to pizza, coffee, baked goods, and barbecue. The fully women owned Chick Next Door sold chicken tender boxes, loaded fries, and cauliflower poppers for anyone looking for a classic meal. Sunday Cafe sold Asian-inspired chicken dumplings, spicy wontons, barbecue pork bao, and stir-fry noodles making it a standout for fans looking for something savory. If you were more interested in where to get a drink, the bar sold specialty ube margaritas and spiked matchas, while other vendors had refreshing strawberry mint lemonades and fresh squeezed juices.
In addition to local businesses, large brands made their mark on specialty items. Athleta set up an immersive wellness booth named Athleta World. As part of their guided meditation sessions, lounge spaces, and sensory dome, guests could cool off with their coconut water served in real coconuts branded with the Athleta World logo.
Of course, Taco Bell joined the festival giving out their Olivia Rodrigo-inspired “You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast” drink at Live Más Café. The speciality collab drink is a pink lemonade twist on their popular Mountain Dew Baja Blast original.
To keep up with Olivia Rodrigo-inspired releases, Salt & Straw came out with a limited-edition sugar cookie flavored ice cream. This warm vanilla sugar cookie flavor with little bits of gooey sugar cookie was available at the brand’s festival food truck. Fans who couldn’t attend the festival weren’t completely left out of this collab, however. All Salt & Straw locations outside of the festival sold the limited-edition flavor during this past weekend so anyone could give it a try.
Whether fans were looking for comfort chicken tenders, Hawaiian pineapple bowl, international birria tacos, or just a refreshing lemonade, the Daisy Chain Fields Festival had you covered. With the majority of vendors being women owned, the lines for food were stretching across the grounds and totally worth the wait. If you didn’t get a hold of any tickets this year, don’t worry too much, because the Daisy Chain Fields Festival will be returning in 2027, promising another day of good music and even better food.
