Now Is a Great Time to Become a Cleveland Street Mobile Vendor

Published on October 07, 2026

Artists, makers and retailers have a new way to reach customers in the heart of downtown Clearwater.

Cleveland Street Mobile Vending gives vendors a flexible way to bring their products directly to the 400-500 blocks Cleveland Street in downtown Clearwater. Vendors can choose the days and hours that work for their business within vending hours of 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is no requirement to vend for the entire day.

Why Vend on Cleveland Street?

Cleveland Street is at the center of Downtown Clearwater activity, providing mobile vendors an opportunity to showcase their products, connect with residents and visitors and introduce their businesses to new customers.

Vendors can participate regularly or plan their vending dates around downtown events and busy weekends.

Help With Insurance Costs

There is assistance available to help reduce startup costs. Once approved, vendors may apply for the Micro Pop-Up Grant, which can reimburse the cost of a Certificate of Insurance for up to a six-month policy.

Mobile vending approval is required before applying for the Micro Pop-Up Grant.
