Get a permit for your event in the right-of-way

What fun community events does 2024 hold in store? If you're planning a block party, race, parade or film production that's happening in the right-of-way it needs an event permit.

Permits help us make sure that events are safe and that they avoid conflicts with others using the right-of-way. People who get event permits are allowed to use the right-of-way providing they make no permanent changes to it.

Apply early! Event permits take about a four weeks to process. Review the requirements for each type of event permit, and include traffic control or parking plans, if needed. If you are planning a parade, race or walk, include a route map. Submit applications on the Public Permitting and Services Portal.
