Parades, road races, street and block parties are events enjoyed by adults and children alike. A little time and preparation is all that is needed to ensure that these events go smoothly.

If a full or partial road closure is necessary for your event, the Corporation of the City of Brampton requires you to fill out a road closure application and, once approved, obtain a road occupancy permit. You application must be submitted at least six weeks prior to your event.
