Special Event Road Closures
Special Event Road Closures
Home to vibrant beaches, miles of waterways, and a robust, downtown nightlife, the City of Fort Lauderdale plays host to hundreds of special events year-round. All outdoor special events are permitted through the City's Parks and Recreation Department. Per City Ordinance 15-181, outdoor events that request or require road closures must go through an approval process with City Commission before an event permit can be issued.
Pursuant to Chapter 25 of the City Ordinances, the Transportation and Mobility Department oversees the review and approval of road closures (Maintenance of Traffic) city-wide. For additional information regarding the City's special event permit process, please visit parks.fortlauderdale.gov/special-events.
*Event and Road Closure information is updated following each City Commission Meeting
