Temporary Food Booths Permits

Obtain a permit if you are a food booth operator at a special event. Secure approvals and permits if you are an organizer.

Permits are required for food booths at special events in Berkeley. Event coordinators also receive information about food booth construction, monitoring requirements, and safety standards, and are responsible for securing related approvals and permits as needed. Environmental Health coordinates these services with other City departments such as Public Works, Parks, and the Berkeley Police.

Download and print the Requirements for Food Booths at Temporary Events brochure and permit application. You can also get it from Environmental Health at (510) 981-5310 and TDD (510) 981-6903, or request it by sending us an email.
