Special Permits and Events
The Grand Forks Park District reserves the right to cancel a festival/event if safety concerns arise or if there is risk to the park or its facilities. The Park District must approve all festivals/events, and the applicant/event coordinator must complete a Special Use Permit along with any other permits/forms required. Some festivals/events may require Park Board approval. Special Use Permits are available at the Grand Forks Park District Office.
The Park District will establish the fees for festivals/events. For any event at which merchandise and/or food is sold, admission or entry fees are collected, the Park District requires that a percentage/fee of gross sales be paid to the Grand Forks Park District.
