Organizing a community event and planning to seek support from the City of Tallahassee? Organizations with new events and those previously co-sponsored by the City will need to submit a Special Event Co-Sponsorship Application. Any special event that is open to the public with no admission or ticket fee that is being held on City-owned or controlled property is invited to apply for co-sponsorship.

Applications for events occurring during Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020 (Oct. 1, 2018 through Sept. 30, 2020) will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 30. The application is available on Talgov.com/Parks. You can also receive information by contacting the Special Events division of the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs (PRNA) department by phone at 891-3885, via email through Allison.Behrman@Talgov.com or in person at the PRNA office, located at 912 Myers Park Drive.

Special Events staff will hold an Applicant Workshop on Thursday, March 15, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the PRNA office. The workshop will allow interested parties to seek clarification on eligibility and criteria and to ask questions regarding the application. Attendance is not mandatory for applicants but is encouraged.

The Special Event Co-Sponsorship Application provides a consistent method for organizations to request in-kind services for special events from the City. A Special Events Committee will review the applications and make recommendations to the Tallahassee City Commission, which decides the events that receive co-sponsorship from the City and at what level of in-kind services.

The special events that are recommended for co-sponsorship will still need to obtain the required Special Event Permit.

Application deadline is March 30, 2018.
