How Do I Schedule a Special Event?

First, call 916 -875-6238 to talk to one of our representatives. There is a six-week lead time required on all special events, and proof of insurance is a must.

Each request, whether approved or not, requires a $50 non-refundable application fee, so it is important to talk over your ideas with our event coordinators before submitting a request. Other fees may apply, and depending upon the size of the event, traffic control, additional toilets and dumpsters may be required. You can access more permitting information at Park's permit page.
