FOOD VENDOR GUIDELINES
All food booths are required to have a fire extinguisher. Grill pads must be placed under each grill, fire, grease, or other equipment to keep damage and stains from occurring on the grass, sidewalk, bricks, or pavement. All cooking equipment, including BBQ grills, stoves, fryers, and warmers, must be in a secure area and protected from the public. Vendors preparing food for immediate consumption will be located in one area to help prevent food smells and smoke from negatively affecting other vendors and/or other products. No grills, fires, grease, or other equipment is allowed that will burn or damage the grass or pavement.
WATER: There are no water spigots available on site; Vendors MUST be self-contained.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electricity is limited to certain locations. It is available on a “First-Come, First-Served” basis. Only one (1) outlet on a 110 duplex plug is available per booth space. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE OUTLET(S) NOT BE OVERLOADED. The use of hot plates, crock pots, toaster ovens, and warmers, etc. is not recommended as electrical outlets do not work well with devices that have heating elements. The use of these devices requires special approval and must be indicated on the application.
If a problem with an electrical outlet develops, IMMEDIATELY notify the staff person on duty.
For vendors requiring more than 110 outlets you must provide a 14 gauge, three prong extension cord and plug into the electric panels. All vendors utilizing electrical access, regardless of the amount of power drawn, must provide and use a compliant, heavy-duty cord cover for any electrical cords or extensions running across pedestrian walkways, pathways, or open areas.

All food vendors must abide by the Food Vendor Guidelines. Vendor spaces are marked on the curb or street. Vendors must stay within the space marking and are guaranteed a 10’ x 10’ space unless specifically indicated.
