Special Events

Hosting a Special Event

The City of Mitchell hosts many events and activities throughout the year. Events that are open to the general public and take place within the public right-of-way; require closure of streets or parking lots, sound amplification, or are located within a park, are coordinated through the Special Event Permit Application process. Typically, these events require permits, licenses, and approvals from several City departments, depending on the size and nature of the special event.
