Neighborhood Events

An event that is localized, and intended for the immediate residents residing on the impacted streets, is considered a “Neighborhood Event”. Advertising for a Neighborhood Event is usually limited to flyers distributed in the neighborhood of the event, newsletter notice, posters, email or announcement at a Neighborhood Association meeting.

      - Mass advertising that uses the internet, Facebook,
        websites, etc. may disqualify an event as a
        "Neighborhood Event".

In the case of a Neighborhood Event, the organizer / applicant must complete a LOCAL STREET / BLOCK CLOSURE and/or NOISE WAIVER REQUEST for the event.

All other events designed to bring an audience or participation that extends beyond the residents of a particular neighborhood will most likely be handled through the broader Special Event Permit Application (SEPA) process.

The LOCAL STREET / BLOCK CLOSURE and/or NOISE WAIVER REQUEST can be downloaded HERE.

The completed application request is to be delivered to:

      Planning & Neighborhood Development Department -
      Office of the Director
      316 N. Capitol Ave. Suite D-1
      Lansing, MI. 48933

The department must receive the completed request at least 3 weeks before the event takes place.

Submitted applications do not guarantee your event will be approved.
