Permits for outdoor events, promotions and private events
Page content in brief
A landowner's permit is required when the event is held in a public area owned by the City of Tampere, such as a market, park, street or beach, and has a clear organiser and a predefined purpose or theme. A permit is also required if the event affects the normal use of the area, is subject to a charge, involves the sale or dispensing of food, or requires temporary structures, parking or traffic arrangements.

Break in permit processing
Making a reservation and applying for a public area permit are the first steps in organizing a public event. During the permit review process, the applicant may be required to adjust their plans, such as relocating event activities or structures. Additionally, a notification to the police about the public event requires that a public area permit has been obtained.
