Special Event Application

The Town of Midland is a great place to host a wide range of outdoor events, including festivals, block parties, walks/runs, parades, competitions, concerts, fireworks, water events, and family gatherings.

A Special Event Application must be submitted by a Third-Party Event Organizer who wishes to organize a Special Event on Municipal Property located in the Town of Midland. A Special Event is an organized gathering of people on Municipal Property that:

• is defined as a one-time, annual, infrequently occurring, or is an ongoing series of events;
• celebrates or displays a specific theme – community, culture, arts, heritage, recreation, sport, etc.;
• has pre-determined opening and closing dates/times;
• requires coordination of municipal services;
• is open to the general public and/or is promoted to the general public;
• is organized by Town staff, the general public, a community organization or association, a charitable or not-for-profit organization, or a commercial enterprise; and
• includes but is not limited to, festivals, walk-a-thons, running and cycling events/races, parades, and concerts.

Municipal Property means all indoor and outdoor property owned and/or operated by the Town of Midland, including, but not limited to, parks, sidewalks, roads, public spaces, parking lots and the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre.

Events taking place at some Town owned and/or operated facilities may also have to enter into a facility agreement and adhere to those additional rules and regulations.
