Special Event Permit Information

It is the City's goal to assist event organizers in planning safe and successful events while minimizing the impact on public safety and welfare. Some events require a Special Event Permit to assure that an activity meets legal requirements of the use of public land and rights of way and assures the City that adequate services such as traffic control, sanitation, solid waste, and public safety issues are addressed. Other events may just need a courtesy notification to the appropriate City department.

Homer Halfpipes!

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Friends of Homer Skate Park, the Homer Foundation and the City of Homer, the community raised over $20,000 to purchase two halfpipes that are now adjacent to the skateboard park at the HERC campus.  Special thanks to the City of Homer Public Works staff for the time and effort to construct and install them before the snow flies.

Lend-A-Leash Program

The Lend-A-Leash Program is made possible by the team work of the City of Homer, Homer Animal Friends and Alaska Mindful Paws of the Homer Animal Shelter to provide pet leashes to the community.  Look for the signs at the beach, parks and trails for the leashes.
