Interested in hosting an event and closing city streets? A permit is required to close city streets. There are two types of event permits.
1. Public Event like a festival, fair, or arts/crafts show. Typically on Belton Main Street.
Public events are defined as a temporary gathering or activity held on a city street or on city property that involves non-traditional or non-routine use of the property. An Event Permit is required.
An application for an Event Permit should be filed not less than 90 days before the date on which it is proposed to conduct the event. Applications will be processed in the order they are received. The Event Permit fee is $25, cash or check. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is required with an Event Permit application. The Event Permit application and MOU require City Council approval.
2. Residential Block Party like a holiday celebration or BBQ.
Note: If you are applying for a residential block party between Cedar and S Scott (along Main Street), please complete the Event Permit application.
A residential block party is defined as a neighborhood social gathering that temporarily closes a residential street to create a shared space for residents to gather, connect, and build community. A Block Party Permit is required.
An application for a Block Party Permit should be filed not less than 45 days before the date on which it is proposed to conduct the event. Applications will be processed in the order they are received. The Block Party Permit fee is $25, cash or check.
