The City of Cape Coral requires that all organizers who wish to conduct a special event apply for a special event permit. Each permit is reviewed by all pertinent departments within the city and serves as a tool to assist the event organizer in producing a safe, well-planned event. The Special Event Permit Application must be submitted 90 days prior to the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Event Insurance for events on city property is required.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Insurance Accord Form needs to have these specifics:
\n<\/p>\n
Name of the event
\nLocation of the event\u00a0
\nTime and date of the event
\nName the City of Cape Coral additional insured<\/p>\n
Share these details with your insurance provider.<\/p>\n
Events NOT on City property do not require event insurance; however, it is recommended.<\/p>\n
Upon receipt of a Special Event Permit Application, a staff member from the Special Events Division will contact the organizer and review the process and additional items required (i.e., insurance).
