You will need a seller's permit because prepared food is taxable.
Food businesses are peculiar in that in addition to other licenses and tax IDs, you may need a health inspection. The inspection may take place after you obtain your licenses here online on this site.
In addition, most states require that you take a food certification course ( about $20 depending on your state). This is usually online and takes less than a day to be certified. This, too, can be done after you set up your business. I.e., after you register your food business by obtaining the required licenses here online.
How to Register Your Food Business
First, select your food business structure: Select from Sole Proprietor, Partnerships, LLC or Corporation.
Then, a sellers permit is required because you sell prepared food wholesale or retail.
If you are an employer, i.e., you hire people to help you prepare, sell, or serve food, you will need a federal employer number and a State Employer Number.
Food businesses that are users of a trade name will need a fictitious business name filing. For example, you name your food business a name like "Great Food That Makes You Lose Fat and Inches," requires a business name registration.
Finally, you have the option of incorporating or forming an LLC, in which case, you will not have to register the business name as long as the LLC or corporation name is the same as the one you registered the LLC or corporation as. For example, your business name is "Food is Us," and you register your LLC as "Food is Us". Then you will not need to register it as a business name because it would be the legal name of the LLC.

REQUIRED PERMITS
Legal and Tax Business Structure

Whether your business is an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will have to first select from these business, tax entities: Namely, from sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation. It does not matter which one you choose when it comes to a General Business License because all entities need that one. (Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well. Using a company name subjects you to having to file a DBA . For instance, your name is Marylin Boe, and you do business as Best Items By Marylin, the name must be registered with a DBA Doing Business As certificate because it is not your full legal name (namely, Marylin Boe). Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible such as equipment, jewelry, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a sales ID ( Sellers Permit ) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale from companies that sell in bulk and or sell them retail directly to consumers. Getting people to work for you within 30 days of starting your business subjects you having to get a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number). On the other hand, you will also need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC . You can also obtain a federal tax ID as a sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in the place of a social security number. However, you will still need other filings, such as permits, a fictitious business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. Finally, even sole proprietor working from home or just online can set up a LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to register the trade name with a dba because the LLC or Corporation name will be the legal name of the business.

No, the state of OR does not require it.Oregon has no statewide sales tax Sales tax permits — What are they and who needs one? - Avalara +2, making it one of only five states without this requirement. This means you typically won't need a traditional resale license or sales tax permit for state-level sales tax purposes.

However, you may still need other permits:

Local business licenses: Businesses, including vendors doing business over a very limited term in Portland must apply for a temporary business license from the City of Portland's Revenue Division Apply for a temporary business license | Portland.gov. Other Oregon cities may have similar requirements for temporary vendors.

Event-specific permits: Depending on the event location and type, you may need special event permits or temporary use permits from the local municipality.

General business registration: Some events or localities may require you to register your business temporarily in Oregon, even without sales tax implications.

My recommendations:

Contact the event organizer first - they often provide guidance on required permits

Check with the city/county where the event is located about temporary business license requirements

Verify if the event venue or organizer handles any necessary permits on behalf of vendors

Since there's no state sales tax in Oregon, your main concerns will be local licensing requirements rather than resale certificates. The requirements can vary significantly between different Oregon cities and counties.
