This application is for
- Runs
- Parades
- Marches
- Block Parties
- Street Events
- Other activities that would disrupt traffic and/or pedestrians.
Prior to filling out your application, please review the questions and answers below.
This application will start the approval process. A City staff person will connect with you if there are any concerns that
may hinder your event, such as road work that may be scheduled or other traffic disruption slated for that time.
Immediately prior to closing the street, you must call the non-emergency line 506-648-3333 to inform Police and Fire that the street is closed to traffic.
Public street events are a wonderful means of community building, but you will need to make sure you are a good neighbor. Because the flow of traffic could be blocked, residents and customers may not be able to access their usual parking lots, and businesses may have deliveries scheduled during your event set up times. You will need to give all surrounding businesses and residents ample opportunity to reschedule or plan for alternate parking. A great idea is to arrange with a nearby parking lot owner to allow residents spaces to park while their streets are closed.
