cialevents/

In New Orleans, festi-

vals are a way of life. With

over 120 festivals, events,

and outdoor markets, the

City boasts more festivals

than weekend days in the

year. These events feature

our world-renowned cui-

sine, unique visual art, and

unparalleled musical tal-

ents.

The City of New Or-

leans wishes to nurture its

festivals and events, from

the smallest neighborhood

get-together to Mardi Gras.

Not only do our festivals

bring in over $760 million

in economic impact and

2.2 million attendees each

year, but they are intrinsic

to the quality of life in the

city, provide jobs for cultur-

al workers, and express our

identities as New Orleani-

ans to each other and the

world.

The following pages include all of the applications you could

need to hold a festival, market, outdoor concert, race/mara-

thon, professional sporting event, wedding, trade show, block

party or second line. Before each application, we have includ-

ed an explanation of the process and instructions to help you

better navigate the permitting process for your event, big or

small. At the end of this Guide are reference materials: a fee

list and application index.

After you complete the relevant permit applications, please

detach the pages from the booklet and bring them into the

One Stop at City Hall, 1300 Perdido Street, 7th Floor. Or feel

free to email the completed application to specialevents@

nola.gov for initial processing. Finally, individual applications

and more are available at the One Stop website. You will be

contacted by the One Stop as your application is being pro-

cessed. You may be contacted by individual permitting de-

partments if they have speciﬁc questions about your applica-

tion or need more information to process your request.

Every event in the City is a chance for us to share with vis-

itors and each other the culture of New Orleans, and bring

our neighborhoods closer together. Thank you for making

this vital part of our cultural economy possible.

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

There are a variety of resources to assist you with Special Event permitting, including our

One Stop website and this guide. The Special Event Center website also includes all ap-

plications, this guide, an online calendar of events, and guidance based on event type. Or-

ganizers of fairs, festivals, community events, parades, markets, commercial special events,

and more can use this document to discover what permits are needed and to understand

the application process. Please contact specialev[email protected] with any questions.

Please note that most public special events must go through the EVENT LOCATION SEC-

TION and obtain a PROMOTER’S OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE AND MAYORALTY PERMIT.

THE OFFICE OF CULTURAL ECONOMY, THE CITY COUNCIL, THE MAYOR’S OFFICE, AND/

OR THE INDIVIDUAL PERMITTING DEPARTMENTS (I.E. REVENUE) NO LONGER ACCEPT

APPLICATIONS. PLEASE READ THE GUIDE CAREFULLY AND REMIT APPLICATIONS TO

THE ONE STOP SHOP ON THE 7TH FLOOR OF CITY HALL, OR YOU CAN VISIT THE ONE

STOP ONLINE AT http://www.nola.gov/specialevents/ FOR ONLINE APPLICATIONS.

If you are only arranging a parade, such as a second line for a wedding, you may skip these

steps and go straight to the Parade section.

FOR BEST RESULTS AND OPTIMUM SERVICE, PLEASE BEGIN THE PERMITTING PROCESS

AT LEAST 90 DAYS AHEAD OF YOUR EVENT.

Vendors: PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO BE AN ACCEPTED VENDOR BY THE

EVENT ORGANIZER BEFORE OBTAINING A TRADE SHOW VENDOR PERMIT.

MASTER APPLICATION

The Master Application helps us determine what permits and

licenses you will need for your event. Permitting is gener-

ally done by item and activity. So tents need a tent permit,

a parade needs a parade permit, serving alcohol requires a

temporary alcoholic beverage license, etc. Please be sure

to answer all of the questions on the next page so that your

event will not miss any legally required permits.

The Master Application also includes basic information that

may be included on the online calendar and, most essentially,

your Event Location information.

NOTE THAT SECURING THE EVENT LOCATION IS REQUIRED

FOR ALL EVENTS. IF YOU ARE HOLDING A SPECIAL EVENT,

YOU MUST READ AND COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING PER-

MISSIONS OR PROCESSES TO SECURE YOUR LOCATION.

Please look through the following items below and obtain

the relevant permissions to use the property for a special

event. If you are not sure if your event is located in a special

district or other type of area detailed below, please contact

specialevents@nola.gov.

event and the promoter has included you on their vendor

list which is ﬁled with the Bureau of Revenue. New vendors

will also need to bring in a letter from the promoter stating
