Application for Use of Public Property

To start the application process, please contact the Borough of State College at (814) 234-7100 and events@statecollegepa.us 10-12 weeks prior to the event to notify Borough staff of your intent to hold an event on public property. Please describe the dates and general nature of the event.

The Borough of State College has a Special Event Ordinance that requires any person or organization conducting a special event to file an application with the Borough to possibly obtain a permit. In the ordinance, a special event is defined as any festival, concert, parade, assemblage, demonstration, bike or foot races, walks, or other planned or announced public gathering upon any public street, right-of-way, or property of the Borough.
