Get Started


Where Do I Begin?

 
No matter the type or scope of event, we recommend you contact Kevin Scott at kevin.scott@denvergov.org  or call 720-865-4311 to get started.
 
The Denver Office of Cultural Affairs will provide you extensive support in the coordination, planning and permitting of  your special event. Our "Event Liaision" serves to assist and support Denver’s varied event community while providing the necessary required information and oversight from Denver’s City Departments.  
 

Special Events Guide

 
Our Special Events Guide is designed to provide you with the necessary current information about permitting, planning and producing your event and should be used as a resource for you to add your own particular information.
 

Event Task Force  

 
The Inter-agency Events Task Force reviews requests for city assistance. The Task Force may grant city services, as well as cash support for events with cash budgets under $50,000. More established events, or those with larger cash budgets, are eligible to apply only for in-kind support.

Requests must be made at least 60 days prior to the event. A complete copy of the Guidelines for City Support and an Application are available for you to download. 
 
Form 1 - Guidelines         
 
 If you have any questions or need assistance with the application call 720-865-4311.
 
 

Promoting Your Event

 
One of the services of the Special Events Division is assistance with the promotion of the many outdoor festivals and special events that happen within the City & County of Denver.
 
In order to obtain complete and accurate information for various City and community calendars, we have created an Event Promotion Form. Please fill out the form and fax it to:
303-865-4315
Attn: Kevin Scott.
 

Get Your Event Listed on the Web!     

Your festival or event is part of attracting visitors to Denver. Submit your information to the contact above and we'll help you get listed on Denver’s comprehensive entertainment and event website, http://www.denver.org/events
