City of Biloxi Special Events

Vendor Permit Form

                              

The City of Biloxi has established a Special Events Ordinance that governs events held on public and private properties. According to this ordinance, vendors are required to secure a Special Events Vendor Permit Request Form from the City of Biloxi in order to operate at these locations. However, 501(c)(3) organizations and vendors who do not sell merchandise 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. Additionally, a letter from Harrah’s Gulf Coast granting permission for you to set up on The Great Lawn is required by the city. This letter must be signed by you and emailed back to us, after which we will obtain the manager's signature at Harrah’s and send it back to you to file with your application.

​

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.
