Municipality Culemborg: Applying for an event licence

Types of events

A permit is required for some events. And for other events, a notification is sufficient. Events come in three types. Events with high inconvenience, events with little inconvenience and events without inconvenience. Inconveniences for local residents, for emergency services or for nature. For example, being able to experience nuisance due to noise, smell, vibrations or the availability of fewer parking spaces.

Events with high inconvenience

Events with high inconvenience like a music festival such must complete the ‘event with high inconvenience’ form. This form must be submitted to the municipality 12 weeks before the event to be held.

Events with little inconvenience

This form must be submitted to the municipality 8 weeks before the event to be held.

Events without inconvenience

There is a reporting obligation for events without inconvenience. If the regulations as laid down are met, the ‘non-stressful event’ report form can be used. This form must be submitted at least 10 working days in advance.

Barbecue or street party

If you hold a barbecue/street party (private party) on a public road, this is not an event. In that case you can use the ‘Barbecue/street party notification’ form. This form must be submitted at least 10 working days in advance. You will receive our message within a few days.

You need the correct form for this. These can be found on www.culemborg.nl/evenement-organiseren. Fill in the form and send it to:
