General Events
The application process begins when you submit a completed Special Events Application Form and $25.00 application fee
to the Community Events Division. Upon receipt of your application, copies are reviewed by City Departments, Community Events Staff and Mayor to assess site
availability, quality and goal of the event, compliance with City Ordinances, permits required, Special Event Permit Fee and Security
Deposit requirements. The Mayor of the City of West Palm Beach has final
approval over all events held on public property, and your event may require final approval by the City Commission. If denied, grievances may be taken to the City Commission two weeks following the decision. Each event will be assessed for a total number of impact points to determine a Special Event Permit
Fee. A Security Deposit will be requested for the use of City property as deemed necessary by the City of West Palm Beach Community Events Manager. All fees mentioned herein are subject to change without notice.
Neighborhood Block
Parties
Neighborhood Block parties will normally be approved on local streets which are not primary traffic streets (i.e. bus routes). All private block parties must have their neighborhood association submit an application for road closures. Neighborhood Associations must submit an application, including the $25.00 fee for street closures 30 days before the event date. A late fee will be charged if you do not apply for the street closure within the designated time frame. Late applications may or may not be approved based on the availability of City
Services. Insurance and a Hold Harmless Agreement may be required depending upon the risk level of the
event. Neighborhood Associations are not allowed to serve alcoholic beverages on City property unless they apply three months in advance of their event date and comply with all insurance requirements.
