Special Event Guide 

Because every event is unique, it’s important that you consult with the Special Events Office when you start to develop a plan. If you have questions about the City's requirements, our Special Events Guide (PDF) can help you find answers.

When applying for an event permit one of the first steps is completing our Special Events Application (PDF) and submitting it to the Special Events Office.
