Complete the application form and submit it by the deadline. Double-check for accuracy to avoid delays.

The SEMT or other City departments will reach out to: 

• Request additional information and / or request changes to your event to ensure it complies with City regulations and does not interfere with City services, and / or
• Request a meeting to better understand the details of your event, or
• Let you know that your application has been signed off on by all relevant City departments

When you have been approved by relevant City departments, your application will be sent to City Council for approval. Once approved by City Council you can: 

• Begin advertising and ticket sales for the event
• Apply for required permits for the event
• Pay fees for permits and inspections

Once you have obtained permits and scheduled the necessary inspections. Plan for setup, staff arrival, and event logistics. Ensure everything meets safety guidelines and follows your approved plan.
