6. Discussion and Background
The closure of City streets and parking lots, and suspension of neighborhood permit parking restrictions necessary to support special events require City Council action. Listed below for approval are special events for the upcoming year that require either: Plaza closure, major street closure, parking lot closure, and/or suspension of permit parking.
Related to the above and in August 1997, the City Council adopted a process for approving special events that involve closing the Plaza and adjacent public streets. The City Council-approved criteria allow the Plaza to be closed for special events for up to twenty days per year, with no more than twelve of those being either a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. This year’s requests include Plaza closures of ten days total, six of which fall on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
For non-City events, the event sponsor must also obtain a special event permit from the Community Development Department.
Provided below is the schedule of anticipated special events between February 2025 and December 2025. Note, the 2025 Antique Affair was approved in 2024.
