Dessert Food Vendor
About the application
Dessert Food Vendor applications are open to food vendor booth setups and to food trucks. This category is for food vendors with menus that consist of non-savory food options. Each food vendor space will be 10' x 20'.
NEW: Beverage menu items will be limited to water only. We are no longer allowing food vendors to sell any beverages other than water.
IMPORTANT: We are currently working on confirming our site map due to construction in the area, so you will not be able to choose your space during the registration process. We will reach out to vendors individually to confirm space placement in order of payment once the site map has been confirmed.
All food vendors are responsible for submitting and securing their own Alameda County Health Permit. For any questions regarding the health permit, please visit the link below.
