Visitor Events

SPECIAL EVENTS

Cultus Lake Park is a great place to host a wedding, family reunion, work gathering, race, walk, fundraiser or any other special event. There are several areas to hold an event – in the park or at the beach. While you don’t need a Special Event Permit for a small family picnic or group of friends meeting up at Cultus Lake Park, other organized events require that you apply for a Special Event Permit.

A special event permit is required for an organized event, public or private, including but not limited to parades, races, walks, performances, concerts, festivals, group celebrations, receptions, weddings, and filming projects, held within the boundaries of Cultus Lake Park, including the Foreshore.

It is important that the Special Event Application is filled out accurately and submitted at least 90 days prior to your event. Missing this deadline will mean that a Special Event Permit may not be issued and that your event may not be held at Cultus Lake Park.

Special Event Permits are issued on a first come, first served basis.  If you apply and another event has requested and been approved for that date, your application for that date may be denied.

Please read the Special Event Policy and Special Event Bylaw 1240, 2024, closely, as it outlines the requirements necessary to hold a Special Event in Cultus Lake Park.

Smaller groups may rent a gazebo and relax in comfort at the beach! Gazebo Rental Agreement.

Other groups may be interested in renting our Community Hall.

Special Event Application

A Special Event Application is required at least 90 days prior to your event. Once you fill out the application and submit it to Cultus Lake Park office, the Events Coordinator will contact you to ensure that the application has been filled out properly and to get clarification for any aspects that require it.

Your application should include details such as a site plan, the amount of people you are bringing to the park, first aid details, etc. If you event will have a food truck/vendor or a beverage garden, you will need to gain Cultus Lake Park Board approval. The Events Coordinator will assist you with this process.

Cultus Lake Park staff are tasked with caring for and maintaining the park – from the foreshore to the trees – and that is something we take very seriously. Ensuring that Park Administration is fully aware of all of the elements of your event helps to keep everyone safe and happy.

Please fill out the Special Event Application and submit it to Cultus Lake Park Administration. Please remember, this application has to be submitted at least 90 days prior to your event.

If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Warmerdam, Administrative Assistant, Communications & Events Coordinator at [email protected] or 604-769-8124.
