The First Amendment of the United States Constitution affords demonstrators the constitutional right to assemble and speak in a peaceful and orderly manner. Therefore, the city shall not require or issue permits for such activity. Demonstrations and pickets consist of activities which are generally performed in public in support of or against a person or cause and which may have the potential for impeding movement along a public right-of-way or other disruption.
Organizers of such events are asked to submit the following:
- A Questionnaire.
- A Site Plan.
- Notify the City of Miami Beach Police Department Patrol Division Commander of their intentions.
- Provide details of the planned activity in order to ensure the health safety and welfare for all concerned.
Please watch the instructional video below, which outlines the steps to find Special Events Permits on the Civic Access Portal.
