# Event authorisation - Public streets and squares

## Summary

Anyone wishing to organise a public event outdoors on public streets and squares requires a permit.
## Description

Typical examples of events requiring a permit are street festivals, stand-up concerts (if more than six people are performing), sporting events, cultural events, information events, processions or church events.

**Formal security concept:**  

Under certain circumstances, you must draw up and agree a formal security concept for your event.

**Serving food and drinks:**  

If alcoholic beverages are served, a temporary catering licence (permit) may also be required.

**Structures/podiums:**  

You require a building permit for permanent structures. (Art. 74 of the Bavarian Building Code -BayBo-)  

If so-called "temporary structures" (Art. 85 BayBo, booth, tent, stage) are erected, the building supervisory authority must be notified in advance and the inspection book must be submitted.  

Insignificant temporary structures are exempt from the requirement for an inspection book and notification. These are deemed to be stalls, podiums and similar subordinate structures with a size of less than 75 square metres or a height of up to five metres, which do not have to bear any major loads or which do not pose any danger to the general public.
