Events
Special Event Permit (County Parks and St. Petersburg)
Events on Pinellas County park property (generally 100+ people or beyond normal park use) need a county special event permit with a 90-business-day lead time. In St. Petersburg, city-parkland events benefiting a nonprofit go through the Parks & Recreation co-sponsored events process, and street closures (block parties) go through the Police Special Events Unit.
Special Event Permit (Gulfport)
Organizations hosting festivals, runs and walks, parades, and citywide holiday celebrations on public property in Gulfport need a special event application. Applications must be made by or on behalf of the president or CEO of a city-based nonprofit organization (recognized by the IRS or the Florida Department of State) sponsoring the event, and must be received by August 15 of the preceding fiscal year in which the event will occur.
