FNM 2024 - Food Vendor (FOOD TRUCK)

 

Eureka Friday Night Market is the premier Summer festival, especially when it comes to the wide array of food vendors that grace the streets of Old Town every week.  With upwards to 5,000 attendees every Market, attendees enjoy being able to sample food from various vendors in a single night - especially since the Market times sit squarely during what would otherwise be 'dinner time' for most local folks.   We highly recommend that you are able to produce your food items quickly and at high volume.  
 
We do our best to make sure everyone gets placement at the market, but due to very high demand for booth spaces, we do curate to an extent to ensure we are offering a diverse offering of food during the event (ie, having 10 burger vendors at the same market doesn't do anyone any favors - patrons and vendors alike!) - as such, please note that filling out this application does not solidify your placement in the market, once your application is accepted, someone will confirm your placement and arrange for booth payment. 
 
 
How the Application & Registration Payment Process Works:
 
1)  Submit Application (You'll be asked to add a method of payment, you will NOT be charged until your application is approved - we will notify you 48 hours before charging your card)
2)  Your Application is approved!
3)  You will receive Registration Payment Fee notification 48hours prior to your card being charged!
4)  Your space in the Market is Officially CONFIRMED!
 
All food vendors are required to carry a Temporary Food Facility Permit in order to participate in this open-air festival setting.  The permit application can be found here:  https://tinyurl.com/yfrm7mbx If you have questions regarding what type of permit is required of you to obtain or questions about if your current permit extends to your participation in Friday Night Market, please reach out to DHHS directly:  707-445-6215 or envhealth@co.humboldt.ca.us 
 
In addition to obtaining a TFFP, All food prep must occur in a licensed commercial kitchen or a permitted/registered Cottage Food Operation (CFO) home kitchen.  It is not lawful to prepare food in an un-permitted/non-commercial kitchen that you will be bringing to the event.  A DHHS inspector will be on site during each event, and if you are not in compliance you will be asked to shut down your operation and suspend sales (we do not process refunds in this scenario).
 
Only when your payment has posted is your space considered reserved.
 
Please Note:  Humboldt Made and the Friday Night Market team are happy to provide you with the necessary TFFP application and information that is readily available to the public.  Because we are not affiliated or agents of DHHS, we are not able to provide unique situational advice on individual needs (this then would become a liability issue, so we encourage you to go to the source, DHHS, to get your questions answered).
