Event Permits
Looking to reserve public space for an event? You’ll need to submit an event permit application, depending on the type of event you’re hosting. As a reminder, the public is welcome to use parks and public spaces recreationally.
- Block Party Permits are required to host a neighborhood block party on the public right of way (street, sidewalk, public park, etc.)
- Penn Square Activity Permits are required to host events in the Fountain, Fulton, or Heritage quadrants of Penn Square. Please note, the Lancaster Marriott/Lancaster County Convention Center quadrant is not available for events.
- Special Event Permits are required for large-scale events such as festivals/concerts, runs/races, or community events that could have an impact on public property, infrastructure, or other resources.
