Event on Public Property
Organize an event in a municipal area

If you are organizing an event that brings together a large number of people for example a festival, outdoor concert or bicycle competition, you must send an application to the municipality and the police. It is important that you start to communicat with the municipality and the police at least 14 weeks before the event take place, as both parts must have the time to investigate the circumstances and process the application. 

Your application must be sent no later than 14 weeks before the arrangement is scheduled to take place.
