City of Biloxi Special Events

Vendor Permit Form

                              

The City of Biloxi has implemented a Special Events Ordinance that regulates events taking place on both public and private properties.

​

Under this ordinance, vendors must obtain a Special Events Vendor Permit from the City of Biloxi to operate at these venues. However, organizations classified as 501(c)(3) that are solely providing information, as well as vendors who do not engage in sales, are exempt from this permit requirement.

​

Below is the Special Events Vendor Permit Request Form for the City of Biloxi, which has been pre-filled with festival details and our signature. Be sure to submit your application no later than three weeks before the event to be processed in time. 

​

Not all items on the list are relevant to every vendor. Regular vendors, referred to as peddlers, are required to pay a permit fee of $25.00. Food vendors incur additional fees and must provide extra documentation, which is detailed in the Special Events Vendor Permit form.

​

The Biloxi Community Development Department supervises the permit process and is available to answer any further questions, provide assistance with your application, and will take your completed application. You can contact them at Biloxi Community Development, located at 676 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Biloxi, MS 39530, or by calling 228-435-6280.
