Special events are organized gatherings that are generally open to the public. They may be held on private or public property or on a combination of both (private property & public right-of-way) and sponsored by the public or private entities, whether profit or not-for-profit. They are generally outdoor type events, but may also be held indoor. They usually include amusement, entertainment, food/beverage concessions, or sales activities. The Special Event Permit authorizes the conducting of the event itself.

Some examples of events that require a Special Event Permit are:

 Church & Company Picnics

 Parades, Triathlons, Runs, Bike & Walk-a-thons

 Craft / Art Shows & Fairs

Although a Special Event Permit may be required for your event, it is not an all encompassing permit.

Separate individual permits or licenses are required to authorize certain activities or support facilities for your event. Permits are also required for any temporary advertising signs.

If your particular event requires permits from other County Departments for event related activities, the Parks Department Events Coordinator will assist and direct you. (314) 615-8371

If you are hiring a vendor to provide materials or services that require a permit, request that the vendor provide the permit as part of your agreement. Vendors that provide these services in St. Louis County should be aware of what permits are required.

Applications for an Amusement Rides/Devices Permit will also require proof of financial responsibility, proof of liability insurance, proof of annual state inspection and non destructive test results. The amusement ride vendor should be able to provide this information If your event is within a County Park make sure your amusement ride vendor meets the Parks Department higher insurance standards and is on their approved vendor list.

Applications for Temporary Structure Permits of larger temporary structures will also require that a cash surety deposit or performance bond be provided to ensure the removal of the temporary structure once the event is over.

Applications for a Pyrotechnic (Fireworks) Display Permit will also require proof of insurance for liability and any property damage that may result from the display

PART 1. SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT

If you are planning a special event in unincorporated St. Louis County a Special Event Permit from St. Louis County Department of Public Works is required to authorize the conducting of the event itself. Special events are organized gatherings that are generally open to the public. They may be held on private or public property or on a combination of both (private property & public right-ofway) and sponsored by the public or private entities, whether profit or not-for-profit. They are typically outdoor type events, but may also be held indoor. They usually include amusement, entertainment, food/beverage concessions, or sales activities.

St. Louis County Revised Ordinances, Chapter 1003 Zoning Code requires a Special Event Permit issued by the Department of Public Works for the operation or conducting of an amusement activity or an outdoor sales event on a temporary basis within any zoning district in unincorporated County Zoning districts extend to the centerline of the road right-of-way, thus these regulations include events within the road right-of-way such as parades, walks/runs, etc. “Amusement activity” includes a circus, carnival, fair, turkey shoot, art display, trade or animal show, concert, dance, rally, parade, athletic competition and any similar activity. Similar amusement and/or sales activities that usually require a event permit include, but are not limited to, church or company picnics, community festivals & celebrations, commercial or charity garage/tailgate sales, runs & walk-a-thons, craft or art shows/fairs, BBQ & similar fund raisers, car/bike shows, grand openings (involving outdoor activities), etc.

Generally school events such as athletic competitions, school picnics (without amusement rides), and most school fundraisers, conducted on the school grounds/campus by an elementary school, middle school, high school or college (or by an organization affiliated with the school or college) do not require a Special Event Permit. However, a Special Event Permit is required when a for-profit business or a non-school related not-for-profit organization, conducts an event on a school campus. Even thought a Special Event Permit may not be required, separate individual permits or licenses are still required to authorize certain activities or support facilities as discussed in Part 4 of this guide.

Upon receiving your application the Department of Public Works forwards the request to the Departments of Health, Transportation, Police, and Revenue for their review and approval of the overall event. When the Special Event Permit is eventually issued it may be issued with conditions.
