Downtown Special Events
Special events which occur on public property in downtown can receive approval through the process set forth on this page.
Events occurring exclusively in a downtown park are exempt from the DTSF review process and go through the process set forth by the Parks Department. The City of Sioux Falls has partnered with Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. (DTSF), to facilitate the approval of special events in Downtown.
