Planning an event in Burlington
- Alcohol: a licensed venue covers the bar. Anywhere else (a hall, a park, an office) needs an AGCO Special Occasion Permit: apply at least 10 days ahead for a private event and 30 days for a public one, and everyone pouring must be Smart Serve certified. See the permit guide.
- Capacity: the occupant load posted in the room is the legal maximum. Check your layout with the capacity calculator.
- Outdoor events: parks, tents and amplified sound are permitted by the City of Burlington; ask early, because noise exemptions and tent permits take weeks. Tents over 60 m² need a building permit in Ontario.
- Site visits: bring the 25-question venue tour checklist.
