Anchorage, AK Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

140 stacks three separate prohibitions. The first reaches everyone in the street, not just organizers: no person may participate in, join, or conduct a parade unless the traffic engineer has authorized it, so simply marching in an unpermitted procession is itself a violation. The second binds permitted events to their paperwork: participation must accord with the permit the traffic engineer issued for that parade, which means a route or condition written into the permit carries the force of the ordinance. The third protects the event once it is authorized: no person may knowingly interfere with, interrupt, frustrate, obstruct, or otherwise hinder a permitted parade, so counter-disruption of a lawful parade violates the same section that governs the parade itself.

The permitting mechanics sit in municipal regulation rather than in the code section. 40 regulation process, routes applications through the chief of police and requires filing at least 30 days before the event, so an Anchorage parade needs a month of lead time. 001.
