Raleigh City Code, the City of Raleigh’s Special Event Policy and other applicable policies govern special events within the City.
The Special Events Office has created a Special Event Planning Guide to provide relevant policies and procedures in a user-friendly manner to assist with event planning. Specific requirements vary based on each event's location, size, and components.
Event organizers should review this guide before applying for an event to better understand the complexities of hosting an event on City property.
The guide covers the following:
- Who needs a City-issued Special Event Permit
- Deadlines and fees
- Permitting process overview
- Rules, regulations, and other considerations
Online applications are available for Special Events, Filming, and Neighborhood Block Parties.
