Fee-free events

This year, we are making it easier to host events by waiving permit fees.

Help bring people together

Many public events need City permits. This year, to encourage activation across the city, we are covering the cost of many common event permit fees through the Small Business Resiliency Fund.

More about Small Business Resiliency Fund

This support is intended to make it easier to host events, activate business districts and bring back connection and energy after a challenging winter.

Eligible events must take place between April 1 and Dec. 31, 2026. Funding is available while funds last.
