Boardwalk vendor permits
Sell food, crafts or bait, or play music, on the reopened Port Gellhorn boardwalk: one stand, one season at a time.
01About this service
About this service
The first block of the Port Gellhorn boardwalk is open again, and the county wants it busy. A boardwalk vendor permit lets you run one stand there for a season: a food cart, a crafts table, bait and tackle by the old pier, or a spot to play music.
Get it online in a few minutes: it appears in My Leonida at once, and you pick up your stand tag and your spot number at the Tourist Tax Office on Wharf Row.
Who it’s for
- Cooks, makers and bait sellers who want a stand on the boardwalk
- Musicians and small bands who want a marked spot
- Gulf Street shops and diners that want a second stand on the waterfront
02How it works
4 steps, start to finish.
Step 1: Choose your stand
Food cart, crafts table, bait and tackle or live music spot, and the season: summer, May to October, or winter, November to April.
Step 2: Apply online
Give your name and the name of your stand. The permit is issued at once and appears in My Leonida.
Step 3: Pick up your stand tag
Before your first day, bring your reference number to the Tourist Tax Office, settle the fee and pick up the tag and your spot number. Hang the tag where it can be seen.
Step 4: Renew each season
The permit lasts six months. Apply again for the next season; spots go first to vendors who kept theirs clean.

- Your full name and the name on your cart, table or sign
