Has anyone every been involved in food vending at country fairs, county fairs, or craft fairs? -

If so how do you find the circuit for the fairs, and if you were going to cook things what restrictions are there. Also, what kind of license etc. would you need in the state of California. Any and all info would be appreciated on setting this up.

Sign up for the Calendar at Fairs and Festivals. The calendar has listings for fairs, festivals, craft shows, holiday bazzars, and music festivals.Then check with the person/company running the fair to see if a license/permit is required. Sometimes nothing is required other then paying them a fee for you vending stand.However, you may need a street vending permit/license and some places will require a health department permit. Los Angeles, for example, is a jumble of independent towns and neighborhoods, each with its own rules relating to street vending.There are a million rules on the books. Some are enforced, and some are enforced sometimes. Check the locality where you the fair is. You can also look on this website DC Street Vendor. Most of the info is about DC and NYC but also has links to other resources.Good luck!
