Special Event Permits

Planning to hold an event in the City of Molalla?

To promote success and ensure safety at local events, the City of Molalla often requires event organizers to complete a Special Event Permit. A Special Event Permit must be completed if the event involves a large group of people (compared to the usual occupancy of the site), and:

• Is advertised to the public and does not regularly occur on the site; or
• Impacts use of City streets(including curb or parking late), sidewalks, and public right-of-way; or
• Uses City facilities or property (City owned parks, buildings, parking lots)

Examples of Special Events include, but are not limited to:

• Road Race, Bicycle Race, or Walk
• Parade
• Festival, Carnival, or Market (including Pop-Up Vendors)
• Concert
• Automobile, Boat or RV Show

For more information regarding Special Events Permits, please see the application below.
