FNM 2025 - Food Vendor (FOOD TRUCK)

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE APPLICATION BEFORE SUBMITTING!!

WE ARE CURRENTLY FULL FOR FOOD VENDORS BUT ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE WAITLIST!

Eureka Friday Night Market is the premier summer festival, drawing up to 5,000 attendees each week to enjoy a diverse selection of food vendors in Old Town. With market hours aligning with dinnertime, vendors benefit from high foot traffic and eager diners. We strongly recommend the ability to produce food quickly and at high volume.

While we strive to accommodate all vendors, demand for booth spaces is high. To ensure a diverse food selection, we curate placements (e.g., limiting duplicate offerings). Submitting an application does not guarantee a spot. 

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. 
2) If your Application is approved, your card on file will automatically be charged. 
3)  Only when your payment has posted is your space considered reserved.
4)  Refunds will only be given under special circumstances. Please note that while we do our best to accommodate folks, not all special requests can or will be honored. Not being satisfied with your booth placement is NOT something we will issue refunds for.
 

A pack-in, pack-out policy is enforced, meaning vendors must take their trash with them. 

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).
 
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).

ABSOLUTELY ZERO DUMPING OF ANYTHING INTO ANY CITY DRAINS, TREE WELLS, STREETS, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. ANY VENDORS CAUGHT DUMPING WILL BE FINED BY THE CITY AND REMOVED FROM THE MARKET WITH NO REFUND.
