The city of Aurora offers well-maintained parks, open spaces and two scenic reservoirs, perfect for your next event. Many of Aurora’s parks are available on a first-come, first-served basis without a permit. However, a Temporary Use Permit is needed if your event involves:

• A tent/canopy larger than 20'x20'
• Advertising, promotion, fundraising, or sales (this includes events that are being publicly advertised)
• Amplified sound (DJ, live music, etc.) at select parks
• Impact on other park users or general park operations

Examples of events that require a Temporary Use Permit include 5Ks, art fairs, church group outreach, movies in the park and outdoor concerts.

For commercial use or events that may impact other park users or operations, a Temporary Use Permit is required. Fees apply for such permits. For more details and to submit an application, explore the tabs below.
