Special Events

A Facility Use Permit is required for normal rentals of City Parks and Recreation facilities or amenities. There is a separate City Special Event Application for Special Events. A Special Event shall mean any meeting, activity, gathering, or group of persons having a common purpose, design or goal, upon any public or private facility, street, sidewalk, alley, park, or other place or building where the special event substantially inhibits the usual flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic or which occupies any public area or building and preempts use by the general public. A special event shall include, but is not limited to, a festival, carnival, concert, parade, walk, race, fund-raising sale and similar gatherings; block party, etc. In addition to the Special Event Application, applicants may need to attain additional licenses and permits such as from the state, county, or other regulatory agencies.  The City of Lauderhill is not responsible if the applicant fails to obtain any and all required licenses and permits from other review agencies. In order to get more information about Special Events and that permit application, please see the Special Event Permit Procedures. You can also download the Special Event Application. The completed Special Event Application must be submitted to the City Manager’s Office no less than 90 days prior to the date of the proposed event in order to be considered for approval. Prior to submitting the Special Event Application, the individual or group submitting the application should have also submitted the Parks and Recreation Facility Use Permit via our CivicRec online platform if a City Park Facility is being requested to host the Special Event.
