The General local regulation (Algemene plaatselijk verordening) defines what is understood by an event.

1. Perform a permit check. Are you organising an event for the first time and are you unsure whether or not you need a permit for your event? Then do the permit check. For example, memorial ceremonies, street markets, parades, (street) parties, neighbourhood barbecues, music performances, jumble sales and competitions on or alongside the road are all considered to be events.
2. Does it look like you need a permit? Then you should apply for an event permit.
3. Do you not need a permit? Then we would like to list your event on the municipal events calendar. Please register your event.

For an up-to-date overview of fees, please consult the fee ordinance at www.overheid.nl.

You can request an event permit from the municipality. Do this on time and start at least six months in advance. If you do not submit your application to us at least 12 weeks in advance, or if your application is incomplete, we may decide not to process your application.

Do you, or does someone else, disagree with the municipality’s decision? Then you or someone else can file an objection within a 6-week period.
