Special Event Applications

Each year, the City of Moline is host to a variety of events, festivals, races and parades. Any event that requires use of a public street (right-of-way) is considered a special event and must submit a Special Event Application. Click here to download a Special Event Application.

Applications must be completed and returned to the City Clerk’s Office, 619 – 16th Street, Moline, at least 45 days prior to the event. Should closure of a State highway be required, applications must be submitted 60 days prior to the event.
 

Bass Street Landing Plaza is available for rent for both private and special events. Please contact the City Clerk at 524-2004 for rental availability and information.
