What is a Registered Vendor?
"Registered vendor" means that a business has provided an application and a current certificate of insurance, paid a fee and completed a criminal background affidavit. Being a Registered Vendor does not imply Broward County’s recommendation. If a party or other special event is planned at a park or park shelter, patrons may choose their own caterers and vendors as long as the vendors have completed the application process and paid the vendor fee to become a Registered Vendor.
If you prefer to use a caterer or business that is not on the Registered Vendors List, have them email ParksVendors@Broward.org.

COVID-19 Acknowledgement
Due to ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19, we are extending applications of vendors that were registered as of March 2020 by eight months to account for the time that shelter reservations were closed/cancelled. At this time, shelter reservations are reduced to 50 percent capacity (including vendor representatives).
The following are not currently allowed to return: bounce houses, mechanical rides, face painters, characters, and games.
How to Apply
Walk-in vendor registration is NOT accepted without an appointment.
All new and renewing vendors are required to pay a $150 vendor fee with the submittal of a new vendor application, updated criminal background screening affidavit and certificate of insurance. We accepts checks made payable to Broward County Board of County Commissioners and credit cards by phone only.
