Planning a special event in Castle Rock?

Special Events Planning Guide

Castle Rock Town Code, the Town of Castle Rock’s Events Policy and other policies govern the administration of special events within Castle Rock.

The Special Event Planning Guide was created to take that information and provide it in an easy-to-use format for event organizers. It will direct you through the Special Event Permit process and provide you with requirements associated with special event management.

As you read through the Planning Guide and complete the Special Event Permit Application, please be aware that these documents have been developed to address a wide span of event types and elements. You need only provide information regarding the elements of event planning that relate to your particular special event.
