Special Events
The Special Events Application Form is required for any special event, as defined in Chapter 283 Southampton Town Code, including, but not limited to, carnivals, circuses, fairs, bazaars, outdoor shows, horse shows, exhibitions, and concerts. With the adoption of the updated law, parades and events that require road closures no longer fill out a Special Event Application, but complete a separate Parade Permit Application.
The Parade Application Form is required for events such as parades, runs, walks, marathons, biking events, etc. that take place on roadways within Southampton Town. In addition to this application, Chapter 283 Southampton Town Code requires specific material to be submitted in conjunction with this form, as well as the items indicated on the application checklist provided.
