Taste of Kitsap is more than a food festival — it’s also a celebration of makers, specialty treats, handcrafted flavors, and gourmet packaged foods that guests can take home and enjoy long after the weekend ends.

This year’s packaged food vendors bring an exciting mix of sweet, savory, creative, and locally crafted products to the Bremerton waterfront, offering visitors the chance to discover unique flavors, artisan snacks, handcrafted pantry items, and specialty gifts throughout the festival.

From gourmet popcorn and freeze-dried candies to handcrafted jams, baked goods, cocktail mixers, jerky, and specialty cookies, the packaged food marketplace adds another layer of flavor and fun to the Taste of Kitsap experience. Many of these businesses are small, independently owned companies that focus on quality ingredients, creative recipes, and products you won’t find just anywhere. Guests can browse, sample, shop, and bring home some of their favorite festival finds while supporting local and regional food entrepreneurs.
