The City of Sunnyvale encourages groups to build community and celebrate our unique culture by holding community events. Depending on the nature of your event, you may require various permits or approvals to ensure a well-planned, safe event.
The permit process begins when you submit your completed application and fee.
This single application will be reviewed by the various City departments who are involved with special events to approve it, deny it, or determine the need for specific additional permits or services.
Submit your completed application at least 6 weeks before your proposed event.
Applications must be submitted 8 weeks in advance if your event has an anticipated attendance of over 750 people.
If your event is a community event, parade, carnival or festival on public property, or if your event has one or more of the following needs:
