Event Application Process

The Borough of Flemington welcomes a diverse array of events from neighborhood block parties and historical walking tours to community festivals and athletic races. To ensure the safety, accessibility, and success of every gathering, all organizers must follow our streamlined application process and adhere to the timelines and fee schedule established in the Borough’s Event Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2024‑02).

1. Review Applicable Guidelines

Before you begin, please review Chapter 3, Article 16: Special Events and Festivals of the Borough Code, which outlines:

• Permitted activities and locations
• Insurance and indemnification requirements
• Traffic, parking, and road‑closure regulations
• Public safety and sanitary standards

A full copy of the ordinance can be downloaded here or requested via email at clerk@historicflemington.com.

5. Final Approval & Payment
