Burlington, WI Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

Section 234-2A builds its after-hours permit directly into the park curfew rule rather than in a separate permitting section: the closing-hours prohibition applies except for such instances where a permit for a special occasion or use during prohibited hours has been issued by the Park Board or the Supervisor of Streets and Parks. Once that permit is granted, the issuing office carries an affirmative duty to immediately notify the Police Department in writing, so officers on patrol know the gathering is authorized rather than a curfew violation.

The chapter uses the same Park Board permitting model elsewhere: § 234-3 requires a separate Park Board permit before anyone may camp overnight in a designated City park, subject to Park Board policies that must be published and filed with the City Clerk, and bars overnight camping permits entirely in floodplain zones. Section 227-6 layers a further consequence on top of any permit conditions: violating a Park Board rule, regulation or restriction on park conduct or use is treated as a violation of the public peace and safety nuisance provisions of Chapter 227, independent of any Chapter 234 penalty. No fee schedule for the after-hours or special-occasion permit itself is set out in § 234-2A, unlike the camping permit process in § 234-3.
