Downtown River Walk Vending Programs and Information

Southbank of River WalkTwo programs exist for vendor permits, one that applies to the six designated public stationary sites another for privately-controlled property on the River Walk and at street level. Each program has separate policies, procedures and application processes.

Vendors who are interested in selling novelty items on the River Walk at one of the six stationary sites will have the opportunity to participate in a lottery process annually. Completed applications and other requirements are necessary for vendors to be included in the annual lottery for the stationary designated permits. The lottery process for 2011 permits has been completed. If you are interested in participating in the 2012 lottery, please visit our website after October 1, 2011 for 2012 lottery information.

Vendors who would like to operate on privately-controlled property must also complete an application. In addition, they must obtain permission from the business operator and/or property owner and fulfill other requirements as specified by the program.

For additional information regarding vending programs on the River Walk or in the downtown business district, contact the Downtown Operations Department at 207-3677.
