What is a temporary food establishment?

A temporary food establishment is one that operates for a period of no more than 14 consecutive days in conjunction with a single event or celebration. Special events — such as the Festival of the Little Hills, Oktoberfest, the St. Charles County Fair, parish picnics and others — require temporary licenses. Also in this category are fundraiser-type activities like church suppers, community barbecues and small food stands.
