If you are hiring someone to provide a service (generally food or entertainment) at your event, you must provide the following on behalf of the vendors you’ve hired:

Examples of services or vendors often hired for parks events include, but are not limited to: bouncy castles, photo booths, face painting, magicians, catering and food trucks.
