 SPECIAL EVENTS - Fees
Special Event Fees for 2010

The following fees are provided for your budgeting information.  The final costs will be billed by the Madison Parks Staff.  We are sorry, but there are no discounts given to non-profit groups hosting their event in a city park.  The vast majority of the events held in the City's parks and on State Street are by non-profit organizations.  The City's fees are established in order to recoup the real costs of hosting your event in a city park or street.  The current fees are included in the Special Event Packets so you may set up your event's budget.  It is suggested that when you are setting up sponsorships for your special event, you factor in not only the costs of the entertainment, t-shirts, etc., but also the cost of the permits, equipment, park and shelter rental.
