Special events in Invermere will need approval to use city property

Anyone planning a special event in Invermere next year will need to apply for a permit and seek approval from the District of Invermere.

Officials said organizers planning to use district-owned streets, parks or public property in 2026 are required to submit a Special Event and Greenspace application at least 30 days before the scheduled event date.

This policy is to ensure Invermere events are safe, organized and well-managed.

The permit applies for events such as parades, festivals, street fairs, sidewalk sales, concerts, block parties, races, walks and runs.

The District of Invermere said it supports special events that build community, enhance quality of life and boost the local economy but want to keep the safety of the public a priority.

Application forms and further details are available at invermere.net.
