Information

San Francisco law requires that the place where you plan to hold a One Night Event must conform to all health, safety, zoning and fire ordinances of the City and County of San Francisco.

The information and questions on this sheet and the permit application will help you to determine what steps are necessary to obtain a One Night Event Permit from the Entertainment Commission. In some cases, you must provide the Building Department, Fire Department and Health Department with certain information prior to their on-site inspections of the place where plan to hold the event.

Applicants for a One Night Event Permit should contact the Building Department, Fire Department and the Health Department at least two weeks before the event. This will allow time to correct any potentially hazardous conditions identified during an inspection so that you can obtain your permit and have a safe and successful event.

See the SF Entertainment Commission for more information.
