    Q. What is required to sell food at a temporary event?

    A. Contact the coordinator of the specific event. The coordinator will send you a packet to fill out. Return the completed packet to the event coordinator. The event coordinator must deliver all of the packets to the Boulder County Public Health Environmental Health Division 10 working days before the event for our review. A Colorado Retail Food Establishment license is required. 

    If you have a license from another county in Colorado, attach a copy of the license to your application. If you hold a City/County of Denver license, you will be required to also obtain the Colorado license.
