Special Event / Special Use Permits

Pinellas County Parks are host to hundreds of Special Use/Special Events each year. Pinellas County supports events to enhance the quality of life for its citizens. We recognize there are many social, cultural, and financial benefits as a result of these events in the County. Such benefits include a better quality of life, economic growth, increased tourism and recreation opportunities.

Individuals and organizations that wish to conduct a special event or special use at a Pinellas County Park must submit a Special Event/Use Permit Application. Applications must be submitted a minimum of fifteen (15) working days in advance of the event with an anticipated attendance of 1,000 or less; Events with anticipated attendance of more than 1,000 must be submitted a minimum of thirty (30) working days in advance. Event/Use applications will be reviewed and if approved, the event organizer will be notified of any requirements and applicable fees necessary for the event to take place. If event organizer requires use of a shelter, shelter reservation fees will apply.
