What We Do
Our division oversees permitting for special events, as well as permitting and development opportunities for Austin's entertainment industry. Learn more about how we support creatives in Austin:
The Austin Center for Events (ACE) is a collaboration of City departments designed to streamline special event permitting on public and private property. ACE works closely with event organizers to guide them through the permitting process to ensure safe and vibrant events. Check out our Event Permit Guide to get started!
