Special events like concerts on the Village Green require special use permits.
Special uses of Herbert Hoover National Historic Site require permits. Special uses are short-term activities in the park that benefit an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large. Examples are:
- Weddings and other group gatherings or events
- Commercial filming and photography
- Food service
The National Park Service may permit a special use if it will not harm the park's resources or values, visitor experiences, or is in conflict with the purpose for which the park was established. More about laws & policies »
