Plan a Festival or Event

Public events have a positive impact on the community. They bring people together to get active, socialize and celebrate. The Town of Essex appreciates the continued effort and hard work that go into planning and running local events and festivals. They make our community better!

As an event organizer, you are responsible for the planning and operation of your – or your group's – special event or festival. The Town of Essex Community Services Department can assist you in making the planning process easier.
