A Special Event Permit is required if you wish to host an event on City property.
You will require a Special Event Permit if your event involves any of the following:
- Uses three or more amenities in a park
- Has an expected attendance of over 150 people
- Require a road closure
- Has a licensed area
- Includes multiple activities
- Spans multiple days
Event Permit Applications are required 7 months in advance of a new major event, and 4 months in advance of a new minor event. Reoccuring annual events are required to submit their applications before November 30th.
Please review our Special Event Planning Guide to learn of the items that may be required to successfully execute your Special Event.
Events with less than 150 people require a general reservation, permit and insurance.
