If you are planning an event that is to be held primarily outdoors, and to which the public is invited, you should apply for a City of Waukegan Outdoor Special Events permit. If your event is a parade, you should apply for a City of Waukegan Parade/Public Assembly permit. If you aren’t sure, fill out an Outdoor Special Events Application and the City’s Special Events staff will help you determine which direction to take.
