Special Event Applications

If you wish to hold a special event in the city, you need to fill out a special event application. This application requires various documents like application, site plan, fees, deposits, insurance and indemnification. You must submit everything at least 60 days before your event. However, if you can't meet this deadline for a good reason, you can ask the City Manager for an exception.

The City Manager or someone they appoint will check your application. If your event expects 750 people or more and doesn't have an official association backing it, it will be reviewed by the City Commission for approval.

All forms and applications must be submitted to the City of Sunny Isles Beach Code Compliance Department located at the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center, 3rd Floor, 18070 Collins Avenue. Business hours are Monday – Friday, from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm. Appointments and walk-ins are accepted.
