2026 Food Vendor App

2026 Food Vendor Opportunities

FOOD VENDORS: Here’s the scoop!

Space has been reserved for selected food/beverage vendors wishing to sell foods that appeal to attendees of all ages. Participating Food Vendors will be charged a fee equivalent to 15% of their gross product sales for the events listed below*. Food vendors must adhere to all rules of food preparation and sales as described by the Sacramento County Health Department.

This year, the application will be open all year round, however we request you only submit one application per vendor. If you have more than one food vending booth, you must complete a seperate application for each one. You will need to provide proof of valid, current operating permit. Upon approval, we will require proof of workers compensation and event liability insurance.

The Cordova Community Council reserves the right to accept or deny applications with or without cause. Vendors will be notified by email if you have been selected for an event. Submitting an application does not guarantee participation in the event. Your application needs to be on file for an event for at least 30 days to be considered.
