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.
For the most current fee information and application materials, please contact the Environmental Health Division at (510) 981-5310 or envhealth@berkeleyca.gov to confirm the applicable fees and obtain the current application materials.
Please note that application and application fees are requested to be received 30 days before the event. Applications may be accepted with a late fee up to two weeks before the event, as staff availability permits
