What permits/licensing is required for my participation?

All food/drink vendors will be required to complete and submit a Temporary Food Facility Permit Application (TFF) and associated fees to the Event Organizer. More information about this form can be found here. The associated fees for this Health Permit depend on the Food Operation Type:

$184 - Food Preparation (any cooking or open food/drink items)
$82 - Prepackaged (only commercially prepackaged items)
$116 - Prepackaged + Sampling (commercially prepackaged items with open samples) - sponsors only

If you have a food truck, you must send us a copy of your valid Los Angeles County Mobile Food Facility Permit and keep a copy on-site during the event. If you are a food truck, you do not require a TFF.

Vendors must also have and be able to present on-site a valid Certified Food Manager or Food Handler Card or other Food Handler's certificate such as Servsafe

CBD Vendors must provide an IHEO Authorization provided by their supplier, in order to vend on site.

Note that all booths handling food/drink (open or pre-packaged) are required to have washable flooring (a tarp is suitable) in their booth, and all open food/drink vendors are required to have a fully enclosed tent with sides and windows for serving food from.
