Aachen offers a wide variety of recreational activities: major events, concerts, street festivals, markets, bike races, and runs—there’s something for everyone. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, every event must be carefully planned and approved by the Department of Safety and Public Order. The teams here are here to help, serving as knowledgeable points of contact and guiding you through the approval process. After all, the safety of organizers, participants, and visitors must be ensured. Depending on the type, location, and size of the event, different applications must be submitted. A permit is required for events held in public spaces, such as street festivals, markets, parades, or bike races.
