Attention Special Events/Parade Applicants:
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES IN APPLICATION PROCESS:
The Special Event & Parade Application processes have transitioned from the Town Clerk’s Office to the Fire Marshal’s Office. As of January 1, 2022 your applications should be submitted directly to the Fire Marshal’s Office. For additional information or questions regarding special events or the application process please email the Fire Marshal’s Office at specialevents@southamptontownny.gov , you may also call the office at 631-702-2919.
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.
