Carnival tactics, the use of public address systems or other similar activities by the Food Vendor shall not be allowed. The event does not guarantee exclusivity of products sold unless approved in writing in advance.

Food Vendors must put down non-porous flooring to cover booth area. We recommend plastic tarp covered with roofing paper. Grease spills will be the responsibility of the Food Vendor to clean and may also result in fines from the City of Atlanta. The event will provide receptacles for grease and gray water.
