2012 events reviewed by the Special Events Committee

The Special Events Committee is appointed by the City Council to:

Interpret and administer the Special Events Code;
Establish event conditions and fees;
Set event times, places and conditions designed to help ensure safe, quality events; and
Approve issuance of event permits.

In 1994, Bellevue adopted a special events policy, which recognized the substantial community benefits that result from special events and the need to ensure the safe and efficient operation of these events. These events provide family activities and funding for the community’s nonprofit agencies as well as cultural enrichment, economic vitality and community pride.
