Host an Event

These types of activities will require a Temporary Entry and Use Permit (TEUP), and may require a Harbor Engineer’s Permit, both of which are applied for with a single Application for Port Permit (APP). The APP requires submission of:

If the proposed event will involve involving erecting structures, anchoring structures to port property, assembling equipment, closing roads, etc., a $500 application fee is required via check and made payable to The City of LA Harbor Department.
