EatDrinkFestival is a Cashless Festival. This simply means you don’t pay vendors cash or card directly, instead you load money on to your Festival wristband and tap to pay at the vendors’ stands all throughout the event.

Our Festival is cashless because we’ve got burned by network failure over the years and ended up with hungry guests and grumpy vendors. With our cashless system, uptime is a 100%. In simple English, it never fails.

Seriously, we’ve used it at all our events since we introduced it and we haven’t experienced one payment failure. So yeah, everyone is happy and the lines are super fast because it’s a simple tap and go! Most importantly, you don’t have to drag with anyone for your change.

To take even more stress out of it all, we STRONGLY recommend you get your wristband and add money to it BEFORE the event.
