This policy offers financial help through fee waivers to nonprofit groups that run community-benefit programs, services, or events. It ensures the City supports festivals and events fairly without putting a strain on the annual budget.
How to apply for a fee waiver
Completed applications, including a copy of the group's budget, are only considered by the City Council three times during the year: March, June, and September. Please submit your fee waiver application well in advance of your proposed event.
Step 1: Review the policy
Step 2: Complete the application form
Step 3: Submit the form
Submit the completed form in person or by mail to:
City Hall, Clerks Department, 4310 Queen Street, Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5
Special event permit
You may also need a special event permit if the event takes place on municipal property, such as streets and parks. Types of events include filming, parades, bicycle tours and races, running events, processions, walk-a-thons, sidewalk sales, and more.
Event organizers can visit the special events and permits page for more details and to complete a special events permit application.
