Milton, WI Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

Chapter 54, Article III of the Milton Code of Ordinances defines a special event broadly as any planned public event on public premises, meaning city street rights-of-way, sidewalks, parks or other city-owned property, or on private premises. Section 54-67 requires anyone holding such an event to obtain a special event permit first, applied for through a completed special event packet submitted to the city clerk, with issuance governed by policies and procedures the common council adopts and keeps in that packet rather than fixed in the text of the ordinance itself.

That structure changed on March 4, 2025, when Ordinance No. 559 repealed the former Sections 54-68 and 54-69, which used to spell out specific permit regulations and restrictions directly in the Code, shifting those details into the administrative packet process instead. 12. 00 for a repeat offense, plus prosecution costs. Because the permit packet's specific requirements are set administratively by the common council rather than printed in the ordinance, an event organizer needs to obtain the current packet from the city clerk's office to see fee amounts, notice deadlines and any insurance conditions.
