Vending has been a special part of the Santa Monica experience for decades. Joe Cavin, Santa Monica's Fire Marshal, discusses how vending can be done safely and effectively in the City of Santa Monica. The program is designed to be accessible, and many areas of the City are available to permitted vendors, including roaming sales on the beach and most of Palisades Park. In select public spaces, including the Santa Monica Pier, vending is not permitted given the fire risk and limited accessibility of this narrow, wooden structure.
