Temporary
Events
Temporary
events include fairs, markets, special events, etc. Whatcom
County Health Department issues permits for food vendors
at these events. Bake sales with only wrapped, non-potentially
hazardous foods do not need a temporary food service permit.
If you are operating at an event LASTING
3 DAYS OR LESS and have low risk foods, you may request a
Waiver. If you
do not have low risk foods, you must apply for a Temporary
Food Service Permit. For a list of requirements, fees
and definitions of low risk foods, click
here.
If you are operating
at a single event LASTING 4 TO 21 DAYS, you will need a Temporary
Food Service Permit. The sooner that the application is
completed and returned to the Health Department, the lower the cost of the permit. For
a list of requirements, fees and definitions of low risk foods,

If you plan to operate
at SEVERAL EVENTS, you will need a Multiple
Event Permit. These permits are valid for one year. For more information,
contact
