Quick Links

The City of Owen Sound has the following resources for public events in the city:

Owen Sound Event Planning Guide

The Event Planning Guide is a manual outlining by-laws, policies, procedures, and permits for public events, including concerts, festivals, tournaments, and more. The guide includes links to forms and other resources. Highly recommended for the early stages of planning your event.

Venue Directory

This Venue Directory is a comprehensive directory of all venues available for renting for special events.

Special Event Application

Complete the Special Event Application and submit it when you wish to hold a public event in a City facility or park.

Special Events Request Form

Once your event is confirmed, you may use the Special Events Request Form to request equipment from the City in support of your outdoor event. This is also included in condensed form in the Special Event Application form.

Due to high demand, if your event requires booking a City of Owen Sound park or facility, we strongly recommend that you check if it is available for your desired date(s) and reserve as soon as possible. See Book or Rent a Park or Facility to begin this process.

Not sure where to start? The City's Event Facilitator will be pleased to assist.
