Once completed you can print the document and return it to the Office of Special Events. We have recently revised the application documents to allow you to also “save” the document with your edits, for your records. Please note the following deadlines for application:

1. If you are seeking city co-sponsorship for any portion of an event, you must submit a completed Special Event application and letter to the Mayor a minimum of 90 days in advance of the planned event date.
2. If your event requires a street closure, you must submit a completed Special Event application a minimum of 90 days in advance of the planned event date.
