What To Do When Planning an Event
If you are planning a gathering in the Town of Parker, specifically one involving 10 or more individuals, you will need to obtain a Community Event Permit from the Town Administrator's Office. Groups needing to submit their event permit prior to 90 days must also fill out a Community Event Early Submittal Request. If you want to apply to hang event banners, you will need to fill out a Street Light Banner Application.

For events with vendors, you will also need a copy of our Community Event Promoter and Vendor Packet. Also view our park and field use policy. Qualified events may be eligible for Community Event Publicity Assistance from the Town.

Vendors participating in events held on private property will need a Temporary Use and Vendor Stand permit.

Types of events that will require these permits are as follows:

• Events where the general public is invited
• Events collecting or raising money, i.e., admission fees, ticket sales, soliciting donations
• Events where goods and services are purchased or sold, such as food and craft sales
• Events where liquor is bought, sold, or served, including all events held in the Recreation Center, Fieldhouse and the Mainstreet Center
• Events held in public rights of way, such as organized use of trails, block parties and parades
• Events disturbing the normal flow of traffic
• Events not covered for leasing a park or facility

Generally, private events held on private property, such as family or company picnics, do not require a special events permit. For more information on Community Event Permits, please contact the Town Administrator's Office at 303.841.0353 or email us.
