Outdoor Events

Dear manager/producer! The Business Promotion Division considers events in the public space as a key factor in encouraging visitors and tourists around the city, and as an important tool for leveraging the city’s various business areas in general and in the city center in particular.

A large one-time multi-participant event (over 500 people) for “the public pleasure” held in an open or closed place not designated for such with a valid business license (for instance, events in parks, promenades, city streets, city squares, halls or other indoor spaces not designated for such). A one-time event requires a business license, but the procedure for obtaining the license is different from the usual procedure, as the preparations for the event are made in a short time and at a set pace of activity. Applications for large events must be submitted up to 30 days prior to the date of the event, and mega events (over 10,000 people) require submission up to 45 days prior to the date of the event. For one-time events where food is served, an additional item will be opened 7.7 G (food fair).
