Park Events
Permit Application
Anyone hosting an event in a city park needs to apply for a permit. All permit requests must be submitted 30 days prior to the date of your event.
Depending on the type of event, permits may need further approval by the Board of Parks Commissioners. The Parks Department will add your event organizer to the agenda in order to obtain approval. The Board of Park Commissioners meets every second Tuesday of each month at 5PM via Zoom.
Everyone is required to complete and return the Park Events Permit Application to parkevents@bridgeportct.gov.
If you have question(s) regarding the permit or the review process, you can email them to parkevents@bridgeportct.gov.
