Special Events Application
Each year the City of Deerfield Beach is the site to an ever-growing number of special events. The City of Deerfield Beach recognizes the value that special events can have to organizations as well as to the community; they are a great way to highlight your organization, fundraise and bring the community together.
The City of Deerfield Beach is committed to supporting quality special events throughout the community. In order for each event to take place, the City has established an application process along with a set of guidelines that must be followed in order to ensure that the event is safe as well as successful. If you are unsure about the availability of a venue or have a question regarding a possible event, a preliminary conversation with City staff will help allow for a seamless event planning experience.
