Having an Event at a County Facility? Here’s the Guide

From the historical structures at Heritage Village to the wide-open sandy vistas of Fort De Soto Park, Pinellas County has a number of parks, preserves and other ideal locations for events. Whether it is a dream wedding, concert or a 5K run on the Pinellas Trail, there are certain requirements that need to be met. In some cases, several Pinellas County departments, and perhaps even state or local municipal departments, may need to be involved in the planning.

In response to resident and organization requests, Pinellas County prepared a new special events guide to help expedite the planning process. This guide provides information and contacts for county departments in order to make planning an event as smooth as possible.

This guide covers requirements for unincorporated Pinellas County and/or events held on county-owned property. Where possible, the guide provides some guidance on other agencies or public entities that you may need to contact when planning an event. This guide does not cover other federal, state or municipal requirements.
