In 2008, we formalized and standardized the application and review and approval process for special events held within our town limits. We highly encourage you to review the Special Events Ordinance to learn all about the permitting process.

A special event is any organized gathering for any purpose for a limited period of time at which any two or more of the following apply.

• The expenditure of our resources is contemplated or is deemed necessary by town personnel to maintain public health, safety and welfare.
• Your event requires the use of our facility or property.
• Your event is expected to have a visual, noise or other environmental impact upon the immediate vicinity or surrounding area of your event. 

Within the Special Events Ordinance, a number of requirements are outlined including, but not limited to,

• submitting an application
• scheduling an event and budget review meeting with us
• executing an indemnification
• providing proof of liability insurance
• paying a permit fee
