The City of

both visitors and residents. From spectacular beaches to charming streets and
walkways, each site offers unique attributes to complement a proposed event;
from corporate parties to concerts, neighborhood markets to weddings. Please

structure, or promotional activity not directly tied to a Special Event. By

join an accomplished group of professionals who have utilized the sultry and
sophisticated setting of
Miami Beach
as the site of their world class events.
The
Special Events office provides assistance in the coordination of events on
public property and other properties requiring special zoning exemptions (i.e.
pool deck and roof top events) by assisting producers with guidelines and
permit requirements and serving as liaison with local and regional city
services and neighborhood associations. This Special Events Planning Guide will
provide you with vital information on how to proceed in obtaining a Special
Event Permit in the City of
Miami Beach
, please make sure you read it thoroughly. When filling out the
