Special Event Permit

Festivals, performances, road races, parades, charity walks and similar events that use public right-of-ways require a special event permit. In addition, rentals requesting additional amenities such as a bounce houses, petting zoos, game trailers, food vendors (ice cream man, snow cone truck, food truck), amplified music or any event open to the public also require a special event permit.

A special event permit must be approved by the Parks Director and the Recreation Director. A special event fee based on event attendance will apply, as well.

Special event permit requests require a minimum of 30 days notice. For larger events, the request may require up to 180 days notice. The process for most requests is as follows:
