FOOD VENDOR POLICIES

FOOD VENDOR APPLICATION NOW CLOSED!

• All food vendor booths must meet the standards under the BC Health Temporary Food Service Regulation and must display a valid BC Temporary Food Concession Permit. All vendor information will be shared with the Interior Health Department and the Health Inspector may contact you in advance.
• Concessions must conform to BC electrical and building codes including a valid BC electrical inspection sticker or an inspection certificate posted on the premises. All vendors must also comply with BC Fire code required – CAN/ULC 1254 Standard. Any vendor failing to comply with the above requirements will not be hooked up and will not receive a refund.
• If you require camping or extra tickets please purchase HERE.
• Food vendors are also required to carry and supply a copy of $5 million liability insurance and name Salmon Arm Folk Music Society as additional insurance. 
• ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY – The goal is to improve our environmental sustainability. Every year we are committed, where possible, to adopt practices that reflect sustainable principles and best practices. We have committed to implementing a composting program that includes our volunteer, vendor and beverage areas.
• Fundamental to this approach is the use of compostable plates, cutlery, napkins, straws, cups and glasses. The use of Styrofoam and non-compostable packaging, such as aluminum foil is not acceptable otherwise you will lose your damage deposit of $500. Single serving condiment packages are to be avoided to prevent contamination of the compost. To facilitate this objective all materials must be CERTIFIED COMPOSTABLE, NOT BIODEGRADABLE or RECYCLABLE. 
• In addition, we have implemented a policy of NO SINGLE PLASTIC BOTTLES TO BE SOLD ON SITE. Vendors must agree to not sell water or anything in plastic bottles.
• If you do not use all compostable you will have to leave the grounds, no refunds.
• NO REFUND POLICY
• If you need extra passes or camping please go here to purchase http:/rootsandblues.ca
