Board begins planning for Sabine food-truck festival; permit and vendor logistics still unresolved
Loading...
Summary
Board members discussed a proposed Sabine Park food-truck festival for September and identified the need for a special-event permit, vendor generator requirements and possible live music; permit language and vendor rules will be developed with borough staff.
The Narberth Parks and Recreation Board opened planning for a Sabine Park food-truck festival tentatively scheduled for September and identified several logistical items that need formal rules or a permit.
The board discussed a likely vendor count of four to five food trucks; Jeremy (event consultant and Friends of Narberth Park associate) suggested that a live band — rather than a DJ — draws larger crowds. The board noted generators are often required for food-truck vendors and that generators can create noise concerns depending on spacing.
Gene (staff member) said a special-event permit will likely be required and noted the borough previously began drafting a permit for other events but never finalized it. "The 1 thing for the food truck festival is that, we we don't currently have a special event permit, like, existing 1. And that's something that will most likely need to be created through this particular event," Gene said.
Board members discussed which entity would manage trash, electrical needs and vendor requirements if the borough is the event host; some members said the borough would likely handle trash and some infrastructure while expecting vendors to supply their own power. The board agreed to research draft permit language and to consult borough staff at an upcoming meeting to clarify requirements, insurance, and vendor fees.
No formal permit was presented at the meeting; the board asked staff and volunteers to continue planning and to report back with draft permit language and vendor guidance.
