Full Breakdown
Perris Municipal Code § 5.06.510 bars anyone who isn't an official participant of a temporary outdoor event, as defined in § 19.60.020, except nonprofit organizations, from selling goods, wares, merchandise, magazines or periodicals, or soliciting business at that event. When the event is a parade, the same ban extends to within 100 yards of the parade route on the day of the parade, though established indoor businesses already located along the route are exempt. The rule targets unauthorized street vendors and peddlers trying to work festival and parade crowds outside the event's own vendor system.
Violations & Fines
Vending in violation of § 5.06.510 is an infraction under § 5.06.780, escalating to a misdemeanor on a fourth chapter offense; the city can confiscate goods, vehicles or sales stock.
