We recommend that all participating vendors plan to be outdoors, even in the event of rain. There will be no reimbursement of booth payment due to inclement weather. 

Selling merchandise branded with The Hooley on Kamm’s Corners™ or The Hooley is prohibited. 

West Park Kamm’s Neighborhood Development and its staff and volunteers shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage to property. 

No generators at vendor booths. No alcohol.

All tents are required to be weighted and secured properly. Unpredictable weather and wind can come up at any moment creating a safety hazard if the tent is not properly secured. Event organizers reserve the right to demand heavier weights or to have them installed more securely. Lack of compliance will be grounds for removal from event.

License to Conduct a Temporary Food Service Operation – The Cleveland Department of Public Health requires all food vendors to secure a license to conduct a temporary food service operation or a temporary retail food establishment. Visit the Food Safety section of clevelandhealth.org for details. 

You must secure this yourself and provide a copy to West Park Kamm's Neighborhood Development before the event. 

Temporary Permit for Hazardous Materials – The City of Cleveland, Division of Fire Prevention and Safety requires a permit if you plan to use a propane tank or open flame to prepare food (NOTE: you may not use either under the tent). Visit the Division of Fire section of city.cleveland.oh.us for details. Although no permit is required for Sterno, it must be on a non-flammable surface, and the location will require a fire extinguisher.
