The following is a list of all the potential fees that may or may not apply to your special event.  Hopefully, it can serve as a worksheet for determining the overall
cost of City fees for your event.  If you are renting parkland or park facilities, we
recommend that you contact Jessica Rowell at (626)744-7195 to discuss park rental fees.  These vary according to the size of your group and the type of organization that's sponsoring the event.

Frequently, non-profit agencies request waivers of their fees.  City staff is not authorized to waive fees unless it is specifically allowed by the City's General Fee Schedule.  The General Fee Schedule usually allows for a reduced fee, not a complete waiver.  You may wish to keep that in mind when determining the budget of your event. In addition, a  co-sponsorship  must be obtained to allow for the fee reduction. 

Check off fees that apply to your event.
