Special Events
The Fairfield Parks & Recreation Department is responsible for many Special Events throughout the year and we invite you to look over our offerings on the left, stop by and enjoy our family fun events. Best of all, they are free. We are also pleased to help you find some other events that we are not responsible for, but that make Fairfield the great Town that it is.
If you are interested in hosting a Special Event in Fairfield, the Town is pleased to provide locations for Non-Profit Events at minimal cost. The procedures below will help you plan. If you are interested in renting either of our pavilions for your event, please access the Penfield Pavilion tab above for more information.

First call the Parks & Recreation Office to check on availability. Once a date has been discussed, fill out the Special Event Application and send along a letter to the Parks & Recreation Commission for its approval.
Once received, and if necessary, your request will be placed on the Parks & Recreation Commission Agenda for approval at their monthly meeting.
If you plan to hold a Walk or event requiring Police Assistance, you should call the Fairfield Police Dept and ask for the Officer in charge of Special Events (203) 254-4808. All Recreation Commission approvals are contingent upon Police Department approval.
If approved, you may be required to provide the insurance as stated as well as a Hold Harmless Agreement.
