• Vendors must understand that when participating in Tuesdays in the Plaza, you are committing to the entire 14-week concert season and are responsible for paying for any missed dates.   

• Vendors are required to use park electricity or electric generators to prevent excessive noise to neighboring businesses and to reduce greenhouse gas.  

• Food service runs from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Vendors may arrive no earlier than 3:00 p.m. and may not leave any earlier than 8:00 p.m.

• Food Vendors are responsible for complying with all Fire Department and Health Department regulations.

• Vendors are encouraged to source food locally (Sonoma County – preferably in or around Healdsburg). Food choices should be affordable (i.e., $12 or less for single servings), “easy to eat” food.

• Food providers shall not sell, hand out, give away, distribute or otherwise make available for public or customer use prepared food in disposable food service ware that contains polystyrene foam or PFAS.

• No alcohol may be served or sold at your food station.

• Tuesdays in the Plaza is a Zero Waste Event, please aim to minimize waste sent to our landfills. 

• Vendors may not park next to their booth on Plaza Street between 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. When entering and exiting Plaza Street you are responsible for ensuring any road barricades are put back in place to avoid local traffic from entering the road closure. 

• Dumping food, liquid, and debris into the street or storm drain is not allowed at any time. Anything thrown, swept, or poured into the street, gutter, or storm drain flows directly into our creeks without treatment or filtering. If you need to discard potable drinking water/ice, our preference is that you find a thirsty tree in the Plaza or a dead spot in the grass. Soapy water or otherwise contaminated water/liquid needs to be discarded properly off-site. Please let me know if you need support in dumping liquid/food properly.

• Use of spill mats is required. We cannot have any grease or oil splash on the ground as it is a potential fire risk and could be an environmental issue.
