Special Event Permits
Fredericksburg's hill country location and beautiful scenery make it the perfect location for special events. Each year, the City of Fredericksburg hosts festivals, concerts, parades, races & runs, fundraisers, art exhibitions, swap meets and more.
The Special Events Planning Guide makes it easy for event organizers to navigate the process to obtain a special event permit. The guide assists event organizers through the City permitting process by providing requirements and guidelines necessary to produce a special event. Below, you will find a link to download the Special Events Planning Guide and Special Event Application. You can submit your application using the paper version or complete the application online.
Special events at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park will use a separate application and contact Hailey Olden, Recreation Coordinator at holden@fbgtx.org or (830) 997-4202.
