Obtaining a License
The City Clerk is the licensing authority for Outdoor Periodic Event Licenses. To obtain a license, the applicant must complete an application that is submitted to the City Clerk’s Office along with the applicable fee. The City Clerk’s Office will initiate a review process with various City departments to determine licensing conditions. If deemed necessary, the applicant may be asked to attend a safety protocol meeting with City staff to determine any public safety needs.
The Applicant will be issued a Conditional License indicating other actions they will need to take to finalize their event, such as inspections or other licenses or permits needed from the City of Keene (Food licenses, Sign permits, etc.) The conditions will be event specific and based upon information provided on the application. The City Clerk’s Office assists applicants through the process and helps to facilitate communication with the various City departments.
Licenses issued under this section of the City Code are date specific, and can be issued for a series of dates.
The application fee for this license is $30.00. If City resources are required to ensure safety, these costs are passed along to the applicant.
