Food trucks, tents and permits: staff to confirm setup rules for Oct. 24 festival
Summary
Vendor contact confirmed food trucks and tents but asked if vendors could set up the day prior; staff said permitting and tent requirements need town confirmation and to be relayed to vendors in writing.
The task force reviewed vendor logistics for the festival, including whether tents and food trucks may set up the night before the event. The food-truck contact (Oscar) confirmed readiness, but organizers asked the town to clarify whether permits are required and whether a pre-event setup would be allowed. A staff member noted, "We have to send it to Intergovernmental Office, Miami Dade County Public Schools," when discussing school outreach and intergovernmental clearance in vendor and performer coordination.
Members agreed staff should respond to vendor emails with explicit instructions about tents, permits and setup windows so vendors can provide firm quotes and invoices. The committee also asked parks staff to confirm site availability, and to document equipment and utility requirements (water for dunk tank, generators for stage) before vendor commitments are finalized.
