All applications will go before the Special Events Committee and ultimately be approved or denied by Borough Council.

Once an application is received and logged, it moves on to the vetting process via the Special Events Committee. The Committee is a group of representatives from various Borough departments including Administration, Code Enforcement, Public Safety, Public Works and Parks & Recreation. The job of this committee is to review each application and determine if the proposed event is viable, make sure the dates and locations requested are available, ensure that proper procedure is followed and that any needed Borough resources are properly allocated and not over-booked.
