New OSE Resource: Special Event Planning Guide
Denver is the proud host of hundreds of public events in public parks and on public streets every year. The Office of Special Events (OSE) works with professional and novice event organizers alike to make sure all those events are safe and compliant with City requirements.

OSE has developed a new Special Event Planning Guide to help event organizers understand and navigate the City's permitting processes and meet critical deadlines. Take a look at the Guide and contact OSE with any questions.
