Special Event Permits
Any citizen or group who wishes to hold a parade or race through City of Irvine right-of-way must apply for a permit prior to the event. Permit applicants should come to the Irvine Police Department  to apply. You must include a map of the exact route of the parade or race with your application. 

Plan your permit needs early; it can take up to 4 weeks to process your application. The office has the right to modify the time or nature of your application or to deny the application outright if it does not fit with the needs of the City of Irvine. You may also be required to pay for police officers or other City of Irvine  personnel to be on hand for the event.

For more information or to apply for a parade or race permit, stop by the Irvine Police Department, located at 1 Civic Center Plaza, Tuesday-Friday, or call 949-724-7022.
