What is a Community Event?

Community events (aka, special events not sponsored by the City of Coppell) are described in City Ordinance Article 6-5, (Section 6-5-1). If you are interested in having a community event, here are a few helpful things to ask yourself before moving forward:

• Is your anticipated attendance over 200?
• Do you want to close a public street?
• Will you be blocking or restricting the use of public property or limiting the use of parks by the general public?
• Will you be offering merchandise, food, or beverages for sale on public property or on private property?
• Will you be putting up a tent that is bigger than 10' x 10'?
• Will you have a stage, trailer, van, bleachers, or anything that is not normally in that location?
• Are you using third-party vendors?
• Are you planning on blocking public parking?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you will need to fill out a Community Special Event and Walk/Run Event Application and email it to our events staff.  After the application is received, our staff will review it and assist you through the rest of the process!
