Permit Requirements

A special events permit is required for any activity planned on public property within the Village limits or for any event which will require Village services.

A "Special Event" is defined by the Special Events Permit Code & Guidelines as: "Group events, gatherings or events to which members of the public are invited as either participants or spectators and shall include, but not be limited to parades, carnivals, circuses, special occasion photograph on village property, picnics of more than 50 persons on public property, block parties which involve use of public property, including sidewalks or street rights of way, festivals, open air meetings, commercial on-site filming, athletic competitions, Public Demonstrations, or events and other similar events or activities which involved a gathering of more than 50 people, but not including Garage Sales in residential zoning districts."

Organizations and businesses wishing to host events within the Village of Orland Park are required to submit a completed special event permit application at least fourteen (14) days prior to the event, by a representative of the group seeking the permit. Additional fees will be charged for special event applications received within thirteen (13) days of the event. For more information, please call Development Services at (708) 403-5300.
