refreshment stands

Event food kiosks

Refreshment stands are booths or counters selling food and drinks at public venues—fairs, sporting events, amusement parks, beaches.

They typically offer quick, simple fare: hot dogs, popcorn, sodas, ice cream.

The term emphasizes casual, on-the-go consumption rather than sit-down dining: We grabbed lemonade at one of the refreshment stands.
