Hosting a Community Special Event?
Start by checking out the Bloomington Parks and Recreation facility rentals webpage. They offer outdoor and indoor spaces for concerts, festivals, runs/walks, fitness classes, sports, and more. You can also find more information on how to apply for a Parks Special Event Permit.
If you can’t find a suitable facility, and need to use a public street or sidewalk, you’ll need to apply for a Right-of-Way Special Event Permit. This application should be submitted at least 90 days before your event. Instructions are available to help assist you in using the City of Bloomington's Civic Access Portal.
Please note: You cannot promote your event (such as announcing dates or a location) until the Right-of-Way Special Event Permit is officially approved by the Board of Public Works.
Before applying, please fully review the guidelines to ensure your event is accessible, safe, and community-friendly. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Public Works Department.
