Your
Special Event Application Form needs to provide a complete description of all of the activities taking place at your event. The more details you can provide, the better able we are to assist you in safely and successfully realizing your vision for your event. The Special Events team is available to act as a strategic planning partner from the beginning of the planning process, all the way through the event, to the follow-up after the event. Submitted applications are reviewed by several Municipal Departments before approval and additional requirements, revisions, or accommodations may be needed for final approval; this process takes time so your application must be received early.
Application Timelines
-
Recurring event applications need to be submitted
10 weeks before your event date to ensure sufficient time for review, revision, and approval.
-
New event applications need to be submitted
10 weeks before your event date to ensure sufficient time for review, revision, and approval.
While every effort will be made to support event applications, those submitted with less than the required amount of time may not be approved.
Keep in mind that any additional activities added to your event must be included in your application for review by the various Municipal Departments responsible for issuing event approvals. If event plans change at any time, it is the event organizer's responsibility to notify the Special Events Coordinator of the revised application.
Changes after an event approval has been issued require additional review and a revised approval prior to implementation.
Make sure to give your organizing team, and our approval departments, lots of time to ensure all of the details of your incredible event fall into place.
Apply early, communicate often, and let us help your event be a success.
