Please Note: If you are a vendor with a valid Minnesota Department of Agriculture Mobile Food License, you are not required to submit an itinerant food license to Hennepin County. You must have a valid license (original document – no photocopies) on hand the day of the event for inspection.

If you do not have a Agriculture Mobile Food License, please submit an Itinerant Special Event Food License Application to Hennepin County. The itinerant license is a separate fee from the application process.

You must supply your own source of power for the events and meet all state electrical connection and emergency shut-off requirements. An inspector will be on hand at all events to ensure that electrical codes are being met.

The Hopkins Raspberry Festival will no longer reserve a location based on your past year registration. Your payment is due with the application form. Vendor locations will be designated by the Marketplace Coordinator upon the registration deadline. There are no refunds.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a food vendor for the Hopkins Raspberry Festival!
