We hope to see you there! ## Food Trucks ![Foodtrucks](https://blog.cityofvista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Foodtrucks.jpg?width=500&name=Foodtrucks.jpg) We all love food trucks, as long as they are clean and safe. Please ensure that your food truck operators are licensed to operate in the City of Vista. We inspect and license all food trucks operating in Vista. Please ensure your vendor is compliant prior to booking. Food truck vendors can schedule an inspection by contacting Code Enforcement at 760-639-1641.

If you're considering continuing outdoor dining and would like to understand your options, please contact the Planning Department at 760-639-6105. Depending upon the specific zoning and site requirements, changes may be allowed through the Use Permit process.  ## Live Entertainment ![electric guitar close up with fingers playing it](https://blog.cityofvista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/electric%20guitar%20close%20up%20with%20fingers%20playing%20it.jpeg?width=500&name=electric%20guitar%20close%20up%20with%20fingers%20playing%20it.jpeg) Businesses hosting bands, karaoke, and other live events are required to obtain a Live Entertainment Permit.
