Alcohol at Special Events: Can I sell or serve alcohol at a special event?

Any public event using any public street or right of way requires a special events permit. Applications for special events permits must be submitted to the Henderson Police Department not less than thirty days nor more than one hundred eighty days before the event. In addition, if alcohol will be sold or served for consumption on the premises, a Special Events Liquor Permit must be obtained from the Business License office. A request for the Special Events Liquor Permit must be submitted in writing to the Business Operations Division prior to the event along with the appropriate fee.
