Temporary Food Events & Application

Any person or group dispensing food or beverage to the public must comply with State and local foodservice regulations.  This includes temporary events such as fairs, festivals and church suppers.  A temporary license is required from the Town.  A temporary food service application  with appropriate fee should be submitted to the health department well in advance of the event.  In the case of a multi-vendor event, the coordinator makes the submissions for the group.  A handwashing station is required at the food booth along with the other necessary tools for conducting a safe foodservice operation.  A compliance inspection is routinely conducted by a sanitarian prior to dispensing food to the public.
