Event Planning & Permitting Information

Planning an event in the City of Twentynine Palms? Whether you're organizing a parade, festival, community gathering, or a private event that will impact public spaces, our goal is to help you succeed. The City requires certain permits and approvals to ensure that all events are safe, well-coordinated, and enjoyable for participants and the community.

Our Event Planning & Permitting Workshop handout (attached below) provides step-by-step guidance, including:

• When a permit is required (public property, street closures, large gatherings, amplified sound, etc.)
• Required supporting documents such as site plans, insurance, and safety measures
• Timelines for submission and review
• Tips & resources to help your event run smoothly

City staff are available to walk you through the process, answer questions, and provide tools like site plan templates, emergency action plan guidelines, and planning checklists. By following these steps, you'll not only meet City requirements but also set your event up for success.

For additional information, please contact Community Events Coordinator Scott Clinkscales at sclinkscales@29palms.org or (760) 367-7562 x1025.
