Community Events on Madison Streets

STEP 12: Vendors At Your Event

If vendors will be selling food, beverages, services and/or merchandise at your event, you must have a Street Use Vending License. On the application you will need to list each of your vendors and their State of WI Tax ID # (aka State Sellers Permit #). The fee for this license is dependent on the number of vendors at your event.

• For up-to-date fees, view the Fee Schedule.

If a vendor is selling food, the City of Madison also requires a Temporary Food Establishment Permit which is available from the City Clerk's Office. Public Health Madison & Dane County can provide more information on this permit and their requirements for the safe handling of food.
