PRESS RELEASE
With recent developments in the community, there have been questions expressed related to the
City of Kalispell’s perceived permitting or cancellation of events.
In response to questions regarding permitting of events, it is important to note that the City of
Kalispell does not require permits for people to gather when there is no exclusive use of city
property or services. We fully support the right of people to engage in their right to free speech
and expect them to do so in a peaceful and lawful manner.
In response to questions related to the cancellation of special events related to COVID-19
concerns, event cancellations, including the Fourth of July parade, are a determination of the
respective event organizer in conjunction with state guidance related to the pandemic and/or
other related concerns that may be present for their respective event. While the City of Kalispell
has not denied event applications for COVID related matters, we respect and support the
decisions that event organizers are facing as they make their respective decisions based on the
pertinent state guidelines.
