JULY 1 - DUE TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS (IF NEEDED)

Fire Code Regulations at Alliant Energy Center - If you use a tent that is 401 square feet or more at your vendor booth space, this form needs to be completed and sent to the Madison Fire Department by July 1, 2024. Keep this permit in the tent and have it easily accessible. All tents that are 401 square feet or more and all food vendors must have a fire extinguisher in their tent. Contact MFD with any question - (608) 266-4420.
Public Heath - NEW & Updated Transient Retail Food Information (as of 2023) - Contact Public Health if you have any questions at (608) 242-6515 or LEadmin@publichealthmdc.com. Vendors will want to be sure to apply online or download the new PDF application to mail in with their fee, as previous versions of the application won’t be accepted and the fees are different . If a vendor is using an off-site kitchen for preparation or dish washing , in addition to the transient license they also need a permanent retail food license for that off-site space, just like a restaurant would have. This license takes a few weeks from application to having an inspection before they can use it, so any vendors that do this will definitely want to plan ahead or change their activities so they can do everything on-site under the transient license.
