This is extravagant.
However knew a guy that used to sell food at fairs and festivals around Louisiana and Mississippi. Gotta take into account the price they paid for a spot ranges from a couple hundred dollars to thousands for the major events. Gas to get to the location, lodging. The guy I knew wouldn’t book anywhere, if it was a dud festival to far to drive home and he barley or don’t make money he’d sleep in the truck. And also, yes they know they have you trapped.
Point being it’s not going to be close to retail. But I’ll say it again, this is a bit absurd…even in Biden’s America.

Fairs and festivals aren’t worth attending anymore. Used to be some decent stuff and good cost. Now it’s rows of the same stuff and prices I’d spend at the store.

Part of the problem is that it's those meth head carny food booths that travel from place to place serving generic trash.
Ideally, they would select carefully vetted restaurants, caterers, etc. like Lafayette's Festival International or French Quarter Fest does. But the Strawberry Festival is too big of an event in too small of a place.
