This form will determine any supplementary documents, permits, and fees that are required of your event. You will be requested to upload these documents while completing this form. Your permit will not be approved until you provide all necessary documentation.


Once your permit is approved, you will receive an email with your signed and approved permit attached. You must keep this permit with you throughout the duration of your event.


Note:

Hoboken Parks are open to the public. The City cannot reserve areas in parks or close parks for private gatherings such as birthdays, engagements, weddings, bridal showers, etc. These gatherings are allowed in parks on an informal, first-come, first-serve basis. An event request form is not required for these types of gatherings.

Note:

If your event is on private property (such as a parking lot or vacant lot) AND the event organizer is NOT the property owner, the property owner must sign a release and indemnify the city.

Please check that you agree before continuing.
