Food vendors may sell items from a home or commercial kitchen, but the vendor must make all items. Items (other than the ingredients) cannot be sourced outside the vendor’s kitchen and then resold at the fair. All food items must be pre-packaged. Vendors are prohibited from preparing or packaging food on-site. Heating and refrigeration units are strictly prohibited. Items requiring ice or dry ice coolers to stay refrigerated or frozen may be permitted. Contact us before applying.
The following are not permitted:
- Alcohol

These spaces are limited, and applications will be accepted based on the type of food sold. We encourage all food vendors to apply early as we expect to sell out of these spots.
Food Samples and Suffolk County Board of Health Permits – all items must be prepackaged, including samples. You will not need a board of health permit. Note: the specialty food section will be located on the pavement.
