Setting up a public event

[Lil Bastrd]

Not sure if this is the right section for this.

I am looking for information on what I need to look into with regards to setting up a public event. I know I will need event insurance, a location, and sponsors, just wondering what else I need to be aware of. If anyone has done something like this any information would be great.

It depends on your event.. How big are we talking here?

One thing you also need to consider is whether you are serving food, beverage and/or alcohol at your event in the public area. I believe that you need to apply for a permit with the parks board of the city where your event will be held.

For example, check out this link from Vancouver Parks Board and Recreation of the fees and the permit application form. There's different kinds of permits depending on the type of public event that you are organizing:

Largely depends on what sort of event, how many people etc etc.

Will have to ensure you have all the right permits and insurance.

Do you have a communications strategy to get people to attend this event?

whats the event about?

The event would be small. No food or alcohol will be served. As far as advertising I'm still looking into the best routes to reach my target audience.
