Special Event Permit Application Fees
Starting January 1, 2025, a $100 application fee will apply to all Special Event Permits to cover administrative processing costs. This interim fee ensures fair cost recovery while maintaining support for community events. A comprehensive review of the Special Events program is underway, with recommendations expected later in 2025. Stay tuned for more information about how to get involved in the engagement process.

Should you wish to hold a Special Event within the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, please complete and submit the Special Event Application Form.

The Special Events Policy and Permit Application Form are being revised to incorporate new provisions, as identified in Parks By-law 5306-21 & 5306A-21, approved by Council on March 22, 2021.
