Special Events

Any Permittee requesting Special Events that involve citywide services (i.e. street closures, the Police Department, the Fire Department, Lifeguards, etc.) will need to complete a Special Event Permit Application with the Citywide Office of Special Events.

  • Additional permits and fees, other than Park & Recreation permits and fees will be required.
     
  • Some of the Rules and Regulations for Permits in Developed Regional Parks may be waived by the District Manager after reviewing the Special Events application.
     
  • The Balboa Park and Mission Bay Park Committees provide formal recommendations to City staff on all new special events proposed in Balboa or Mission Bay parks that anticipate an attendance that exceeds park capacity, will potentially impact park, institution, or lessee operations, and/or require road or plaza closures.
