If you wish to organise an event, in most cases, you must apply for a permit. 

For some small events, you do not need a permit. In such cases, you can provide notification of the event free of charge.

Small event: notify

For many small events, you do not need a permit. In such cases, you can provide notification of the event free of charge. Think of an open day, a neighborhood or street party, children's activities or a bike ride. 

Smaller events must be notified 2 weeks in advance.

Bigger event: a permit is required

For a bigger event, such as a music or sports event, you need to apply for a permit. You need to do this 12 weeks in advance.

Sign up for the event calendar

To make sure you can organize your event on the desired date and location, register your event for the events calendar. You must do this before November 1 of the year before the event takes place. Will your event be on the calendar? Then you still have to apply for the permit.

The amount that you have to pay depends on the type of event that you are organising. The minimal fee is €90,95; the maximal fee is €485.

You will be notified within 8 to 10 weeks. The municipality may extend this notice period once.
