As a municipality owned venue we require a temp permit to serve/sell alcohol in The City of East Ridge. We understand every venue can be different so we appreciate you growing with us as the City of East Ridge explores a new way to celebrate!

This City of East Ridge Temporary Special Events Application is for EVERY event no matter private/public, etc.

Cost of Application: $50 per event

Cost of background check: $32 (this is every 90 days so you will not need to do background check again if you have multiple events during that period)
