Events Policy
Geldrop-Mierlo has many events. These form a binding factor and attract tourists to the municipality. In order to steer events in the right direction, the municipality has an events policy. For this, the municipality works closely with the police, safety region, the catering entrepreneurs and the united shopkeepers.
Permit for an event
If you want to organize an event, always notify the municipality. In many cases, you will need a permit. This applies, for example, to a fair, carnival, parade or festival. For small events, such as a street party or a neighborhood barbecue, a notification to the municipality is often enough. If you are in doubt as to whether you need a permit or whether a notification is sufficient, contact the Client Advisor Permits APV/Special Legislation. You can do this by calling the general number of the municipality, 040 289 38 93 and asking for the Client Advisor Permits. Or send an e-mail with your question to gemeente@geldrop-mierlo.nl.
In determining whether an event requires a permit, the Customer Advisor Licenses uses the following indicators as guidelines:
- more than 150 people present (excluding regular sporting events);
- end time event on Sunday through Thursday after 11:30 p.m. and on Friday, Saturday and day preceding a legally recognized holiday after 1 a.m;
- significant noise production (e.g., broadcasting activities or amplified music);
- parking inconvenience to be expected;
- traffic congestion to be expected;
- Placement of objects with an area of more than 25 m2;
- any form of nuisance to the living environment to be expected;
- an opportunity for unsafe situations.
Do you want to organize a music event, party or fair? Then go to the Organize an Event page. You must apply for the permit at least 8 weeks in advance.
Alcohol
When alcohol is served during an event, an exemption is required. An exemption must list at least one person per tap point who has the Professional Diploma in Social Hygiene, is at least 21 years old and is of impeccable character. An application must be submitted eight weeks in advance. Read more about Alcohol temporary serving.
Safety
In order for an event to be orderly and safe, regulations are usually attached to a permit or notification. As an organizer, you must always comply with these regulations. The organizer himself is responsible for safety before, during and after the event. You yourself are liable for any damage and the costs associated with this will be at your own expense.
