special events in
NOTO ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
NOTO embraces special events in the district and we encourage groups to work with NOTO to ensure a successful experience. There are times when a special event may warrant the closing of the street. While anyone can apply for a special event permit, keep in mind that closing a street impacts the already limited parking and access to business and should only be done when there are no other viable options. Before applying for an event, organizers are encouraged to meet with NOTO to discuss appropriate levels of NOTO support:
Sponsorship
- Events that are NOTO sponsored means that the NOTO organization has primary or co-ownership of the event. As such, the NOTO organization has a role in program, schedule, costs, promotion, and so on. The NOTO organization would be responsible for processing street closing if necessary.
Affiliate
- This level of support means that the NOTO organization may support the event through co-branding, promotion, and informing businesses in the district, but does not have a role in program development nor is it responsible for processing street closings.
Acknowledgement
- There are events that are simply in the NOTO area and is not affiliated with the NOTO organization. NOTO can inform the district of event though if it involves closing the street does excuse the requestor from making contact with business owners as outlined in the City of Topeka Special Event Permit Application.
