Thank you for your interest in applying to participate at many of the events in downtown Dallas!
This application is just for food vendors. Please note this is an application. Vendors will not be approved for all requested dates in this series.
FEES & PERMITTING:
You must pay for your vendor spot in advance in order to hold your spot. Events are rain or shine. However, if the weather seems like a threat to the public, the event will be cancelled. Weather-related refunds are up to the discretion of the events team and you will be notified via email of any changes to the event(s).
If accepted as a vendor, you will receive an email to the email address you provided on your application from a no-reply email address with your invoice and your approved events.
VENDOR REQUIREMENTS:
1) You must arrive to the event location by the time mentioned in the logistics email sent out by staff.
2) If additional space is needed in front, beside, or behind your food truck, it must be noted on your application.
3) The city of Dallas does not supply tents, tables, chairs, or electricity.
4) All generators must be silent/quiet.
5) All trucks must have an operational fire extinguisher on site.
6) Vendors must be kind and courteous to all customers as it is a reflection on the City of Dallas.
7) All vendors must have a current health inspection from your county and the score must be displayed during the event.
Please read the following carefully.
You must pay your vendor fee, submit your up-to-date business license, and Department of Public Health Permit/License before you can attend any event.
Space is limited. Due to high demand, vendors will not be approved for all dates. Please check your invoice for approved dates.
Late Arrivals: Vendors will not be allowed into the event and will forfeit their vendor payment for the event if late.
Our events take place outside, and Mother Nature can become a factor. If the weather becomes unsafe, event staff will make the call to cancel the day of the event. You will be contacted by a city event staff member via email if there are changes or cancellations.
If applicable, all vendors will be notified by city staff when it is safe to drive in the event area. Driving in the event area before the road is cleared by city staff is prohibited and the vendor will face possible exclusion from all future events. This is a safety hazard that we expect all our vendors to abide by.
Vendors are responsible for their own set up. Any tents, tables, or chairs needed must be brought by the vendor. We will not have staff available to assist with your setup.
We strive to provide event attendees with a variety of food options at each event. However, the City of Dallas does not guarantee that your food truck will be the only one offering a particular type of cuisine.
Vendors are responsible for taking their own trash with them.
Vendors are not allowed to take any sales after event end time.
Food Trucks must vacate the event within 30-45 minutes of the end of the event.
Vendors are responsible for submitting their own required tax documents to the department of revenue.
