Dear Event Planner:
Welcome to Minturn! We are excited that you have chosen Minturn as the location in which to hold your special event. In an effort to make the event application experience as smooth and efficient as possible, we have created this packet of information to help you plan your event and understand the requirements associated with holding a special event on public property in the Town of Minturn.
The Economic Development office acts as your primary point of contact at the Town, coordinates most of your approvals internally, and can answer questions you may have about conducting a special event here.
For both private events, and special events that are open to the public, please contact our Events Department for more information or to submit your event application / reservation:

SPECIAL EVENTS (OPEN TO THE PUBLIC OR PUBLIC REGISTRATION):
Your completed Special Event Application Packet must be submitted to our office 45 days in advance of your event. Please be advised that certain procedures may be lengthy, such as acquiring proof of insurance, obtaining a liquor license, etc., so please plan accordingly.
PRIVATE EVENTS:
If you are looking to host a private event on town property, such as Little Beach Park, you are in the right place for that too. Please visit the Little Beach Park page of our website for more information, or feel free to reach out directly with any questions about hosting your private event. Little Beach Park and Amphitheater is a beautiful setting for weddings, birthday / anniversary parties, graduation parties, celebrations of life, and more.
We look forward to working with you on your event and thank you for choosing the Town of Minturn as your preferred location.

Will go MINTURN do all the work for me?
Each successful project will be overseen by the Town of Minturn Economic Development Department which will facilitate and assist in making your project a success. However, it is your project and your responsibility, therefore it must be you who plans, activates and manages the event. We do not deliver the event for you; instead we strive to provide you with the knowledge, skills and tools, and grant monies required to do so. You are REQUIRED to plan and execute, as well as help market, the event. Failure to do so will result in not being considered for future funding.
