FIRST TIME VENDOR ?

WHAT MUST I DO ?

LET'S GET YOU STARTED.

THREE EASY STEPS:



#1- You must register with Mardi Gras Productions in order to work at our Spectacular events. You will receive a Mardi Gras Membership Card and be entered into our system so that you will receive all current schedules and updates. There is a $45 annual fee for Membership.

#2- Get a New York State Certificate of Authority ( Sales Tax # ). It's Easy to Apply For. There is No Fee for this. It's FREE. Just Go to www.nys-permits.org.

#3- (Non-Food vendors only.) After you become a member with Mardi Gras and purchase a space in one of our events, we will give you the letter you need to apply for a Consumer Affairs Permit. There is a $10 per month fee for each month you wish to work. You can get a permit for 1 month or for several months. You must bring your New York State Certificate of Authority (Sales Tax #).

*** Food Vendors, You do not need a Consumer Affairs Permit, (Step #3), instead, you need a Board of Health Permit for each event. After you complete steps #1 & #2 as listed above, you will receive a letter from Mardi Gras, confirming you are scheduled to work at an event. Take this letter to The N.Y.C. Board of Health office and get a permit.
The fee for a permit is $30.
You must bring your New York State Certificate of Authority ( Sales Tax #) to complete this process.
