Overview
Community Event Permits let 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.
Please note:
- 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 of your event. Please allow as much lead time as possible to ensure you will get your permit before your event.
- 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.
