Event Permit
Assembly permits are required for events held on City property, including processions, block parties, street fairs, and ceremonies. Generally, any time 10 or more people gather on City property, an assembly permit must be obtained.
To obtain an event permit, you must fill out the event Permit Application and return it with the application fee of $50 to the office of the City Manager (City Hall, 83 Broadway). Among other requirements, the application asks for proof of insurance coverage for the event.
Permit applications must be submitted at least 3 weeks in advance of the event. Application may be reviewed by the police, fire, recreation and legal departments.
You can also email a completed application to permits@cityofnewburgh-ny.gov, but you must deliver a certificate of insurance and fees for an application to be processed.
- If you need help with the application, or have questions, please call Ann Kuzmik at 569-7301.
- For events in Downing Park, first call Chris Tripoli, Executive Director, at 565-5559.
- For events in Delano-Hitch Park, first call the Recreation Department at 565-3230.
