Apply for A Community Event Permit
The Community Event Team issues permits to allow businesses, community organizations, or nonprofits use the street and/or sidewalk to host pop-up events lasting 1-2 days. Community events help to build resiliency by strengthening community connections, showcasing community identity, bolstering local economies, and supporting microenterprises.

Supporting materials such as flyers, notifications, and insurance will take longer to complete and can be submitted later via our Upload Center. You will receive a confirmation email upon application completion with further instructions. Approval time varies.
All application materials must be received at least 30 calendar days before your event, but we advise submitting your application as far as 3 months in advance to ensure you get your permit in time. Please allow as much lead time as possible as you may be required to make corrections and resubmit items for approval.
In some unique cases, applications received within 30 days of event may be expedited and a $150 expedited fee may be added to your application. An expedited permit may NOT be an option. Please call or email to check availability.
