## Quick answer

Larger gatherings need a City Use of Park Facilities permit. Commercial events are not allowed.

## Detailed answer

The City requires a Use of Park Facilities permit for group picnics of 50 or more people, organized activities, large structures such as bounce houses, and amplified music. Apply through the Department of Parks and Recreation Permits Office at least three weeks ahead; a copy of liability insurance is required, and fees or deposits may apply. Commercial activity, including paid vendors and services, is not allowed at Kailua Beach Park at any time.
