Artist, Pre-Packaged Food, & Interactive Booth Application
About the application
Artisan vendors sell handcrafted or original items, including cherry-themed items. Only original handcrafted or originally designed articles or artwork will be accepted. No prefabricated art, molds, or craft kit items will be accepted. We will be reverse image searching your products to verify the originality of your designs. No dealers or distributors, please.
Pre-Packaged Food vendors sell pre-packaged foods prepared in licensed food kitchens and meant for in-home consumption. A Temporary Food Facility (TFF) permit issued by Alameda County is required. You can find the TFF application linked in the "Documents" section below.
Interactive booths charge for activities or experiences, such as face painting, sand art, wax hands, spin art, and other interactive pieces that participants can purchase and take home, or games like spin the wheel or ring toss.
