Request a canal special event license

Want to host an event along an SRP-managed canal? We want to help make it possible. Here you’ll find steps for getting your special event license.

On this page:

    Get familiar with what’s allowed

    We allow one- to two-day events along the canals, including public events, festivals, performances, charitable benefits, ​​educational gatherings and more.  

    Events longer than two days will be assigned a fee (to be determined based on your event).  

    For the sake of canal safety, we ask that you keep motorized vehicles away. We do not allow any motorized vehicles of any kind on the canals. 

    Fees and licensing

    • There may be an administrative fee of $250 per day if your event is commercial or lasts longer than two days.
    • This license is for site use only and does not include equipment or facilities.
    • A Certificate of Insurance is always required for any event on the canal. Once we’ve received your application (the form is a short scroll away), we’ll give you all the details.
