Full Breakdown
Chapter 20 is the town's framework for approving events on public or private property, and covers gatherings held in town parks and other public land where members of the public are invited as participants or spectators. The town administrator's designee, called the director, decides whether to grant a permit after weighing public safety, town resources, staffing burden, and the event's history, and must get sign-off from the police, fire, public works and building departments before issuing it. Holding such an event without going through this process is unlawful.
Violations & Fines
Holding an unpermitted event on town property, or violating imposed conditions, can lead to permit revocation and the event being declared a public nuisance and shut down.
