Fun Facts
Did you know that over 200 special events are held annually in the City of Naples by public, private and non-profit groups and organizations?

Application Process
To host an event on City/private property, you must obtain a special event permit from the City of Naples Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department website. If you are planning on using a City of Naples park (Cambier, Fleischmann, etc.) for your event, you will need to start your application process at the park first.

Our staff will carefully review your information upon completion of your special event application. You will be notified if additional information is needed.  The timeframe of submittal does not begin until all application forms have been submitted. For more information, please call the Norris Center at 239-213-3058.

Please note: Acceptance of your application should in no way be construed as final approval or confirmation of your request. Staff will process your application internally through the necessary departments for approval.
