COIVD-19 Information for Special Events 

Due to the Governor's restrictions related to large concerts, festivals and sporting events, the City of Silverton is not currently accepting special event permit applications for these types of gatherings. Gatherings and events of a smaller size may submit an application for review.  

Does my Gathering or Event Require a Permit?

In order to ensure adherence to State requirements, all park & facility reservation requests must go through the Special Event Permit application process. Please view the table below to find out if your gathering needs a permit. Permits and supporting documents must be received no later than 45 days in advance of the event.

I want to host an event or gathering on public property such as a street, sidewalk,  or other public property that expected to have an uncommon impact on such public property or require the provision of public services.
