The Office of Special Events will provide a knowledgeable, customer focused management team, committed to leading you through the event process while helping create memorable events.

Special events help build a sense of belonging and community pride. The Office of Special Events exists to serve the community and to guide event planners through the special event permitting procedure. All reservations for special events, such as festivals, runs / walks, parades, block parties and citywide holiday celebrations that take place on public property are initiated with our office. We have created a user-friendly, one-stop process to facilitate a successful event.

Our dedicated, professional Special Events Management Team is your resource on all aspects of event production. We recommend that all event planners contact the Office of Special Events early in the planning process. We will be happy to provide guidance and answer your questions.

We strive to deliver outstanding customer service to ensure your events success.

Apart from Special Events, this office also is responsible for:

• Franklin Street Mall Vending and Entertainers
