Supporting local businesses through City events
Do you have a food truck, local business, handmade products or something unique to share with the community? City of Port St. Lucie events offer opportunities for local businesses and vendors to connect with residents and be part of some of the City ' s most popular community celebrations.
Throughout the year, City events bring residents together for food, entertainment, shopping and familyfriendly activities. Food vendors and marketplace vendors help make those experiences possible while giving businesses an opportunity to introduce their products and services to the community.
Food trucks and other qualified mobile food vendors can participate in select City events throughout the year. Whether you ' re serving a favorite local dish, sweet treat or something completely unique, food vendors add an important part of the experience for event guests.
Local businesses, makers and entrepreneurs also may have opportunities to participate as marketplace vendors. These spaces are ideal for businesses offering tangible products, handmade items, specialty goods and other merchandise that guests can browse and purchase while enjoying the event.
Vendor opportunities vary by event, and space may be limited.
From Oktoberfest and Fall Fun Fest to Festival of Lights, International Fest and other community celebrations, local vendors are an important part of creating the experiences residents look forward to throughout the year.
