Special Event Bookings

If you are holding a public event in Esquimalt, you may require a special event permit.

A Special Event Permit is required when:

• You are booking a public facility. This includes a park, a recreation facility, a roadway, or the Town Square
• You require special support to conduct your event (e.g. closing a road, using municipal equipment, requiring Police or Fire Department staff support)
• You are inviting large numbers and/or the public to attend your event
• Your event will impact the community in general, including local businesses and neighbours.
