Applications & Permits

Special Event Permit Applications

Any organized activity with more than 25 people using or impacting private commercial or public property, facilities, parks, sidewalks or roadways in a manner that varies from its standard land use requires a Special Event Permit. All Town of Mount Pleasant ordinances (zoning, noise, signage, etc.) must be adhered to in any event; a permit does not constitute permission to violate any ordinance. TOMP does not permit events involving the Ravenel Bridge. The Special Event Permit ordinance can be viewed here.

Please fill out the appropriate application for your event type and submit with all applicable attachments and fees to the Town of Mount Pleasant.

For Memorial Waterfront Park events, scroll down to that section.

**IMPORTANT: If you use Explorer, you can fill it out online and use the submit button at the bottom (only works if all req’d fields are complete).  Using any other browser, save the file to your computer, fill it out, save again, then attach it to an email.

Please submit electronically to save trees & time. Thank you!
