Are you considering Myrtle Beach as the location for your special event? Contact the Myrtle Beach Police Department’s Special Events Coordinator to discuss your proposed event, prior to completing a Special Events Permit Application. Then, return the completed application in a timely manner.
For large events, applications should be submitted 90 days in advance. For smaller events, at least 60 days lead time is recommended. If your event requires a Facility Use Permit, insurance or other documentation, the necessary paperwork is required prior to approval of the Special Event Permit.
Once your permit is approved, you will need to have a copy of it with you on the day of your event. Questions? Contact Special Events Coordinator Cpl. Henry Bresadola at 843-918-1976.
