Individuals or organizations that would like to hold an event on public property or plan to invite the public to an event on private property within New Albany corporate limits must submit an Event Permit Application at least 60 days prior to the event. Once the application is submitted, the event organizer will be contacted by the Community Events team for discussion and review.  (Note: The City has reached its capacity to safely and successfully facilitate special events that will require the closure of streets or significant city resources for April – December 2025.) 

Applications for special events that take place during the first quarter of 2025 (January, February and March) are being accepted at this time. Please note that events planned and scheduled during snow season may be cancelled by the City in the case of severe inclement weather.

If you would like to plan an event that takes place entirely within the boundaries of a City park and requires no police or public service assistance, please contact our event staff at communityevents@newalbanyohio.org.
