Chapter 100 of the City of Weston Code of Ordinances provides complete details regarding Special Events on Public or Private Property within the City of Weston.

Activities on Private Property that Require a Special Event Permit

An event permit is required for any event, meeting, activity, or gathering held on private property in a non-residential area, where the event may attract 50 or more people and it will  have a substantial impact to vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic or will prevent access to  public roadways, sidewalks or other public property.  

An event shall include, but not be limited to festivals, carnivals, concerts, parades, walks, races, fundraising sales and similar gatherings, grand opening promotions, and City co-sponsored events.

Events or activities held on private property, having no impact on public property or the public as described above, do not require an event permit;  however, if the event includes a tent or any other temporary structure, a proper building permit is required.
