We welcome food vendors to be part of our annual Homecoming celebration — one of the Alumni Association’s most beloved traditions! This family-friendly tailgate draws hundreds of alumni and students to campus for food, fun, and football.
Vendor Details & Guidelines:
- Application Required: All food vendors must submit a completed application and receive approval prior to the event. Space is limited, and early submission is encouraged.
- Fees: A vendor fee is required to reserve space. Details about payment and deadlines will be provided upon approval.
- Licensing & Insurance: Vendors must be licensed by the Mississippi Department of Health and provide a copy of their permit.
- Setup & Electricity: Spaces are assigned, and vendors are responsible for bringing all necessary equipment, including their own power source.
- Health & Safety: All food must be prepared and served in compliance with Mississippi state health regulations. Vendors are responsible for maintaining a clean, safe space throughout the event.
