Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Call (866) 306-1384 and talk to a person.

Do I need a permit to host a birthday party in a Charleston city park?

Organized events at city parks, facilities, and fields generally require a permit, and permits are subject to approval. Contact the City of Charleston to find out whether your planned party counts as an organized event and how to apply.

How many guests can attend a party at Waterfront Park or White Point Garden?

The city limits events at these two locations to 25 people in total, including the child and the adults. Plan your guest list around that number.

Should I ask the venue about outside entertainers?

Yes. Check with the venue whether a costumed character visit from an outside entertainer is allowed before you book, since permission depends on the specific location and its rules.

What should I discuss with the character before the visit?

Talk about the group size, the space, and the activities you would like, such as a greeting, a story, or a simple game. These are options to discuss, not services that come with every booking.

Planning a character visit in Charleston

Permits for city parks and fields

City of Charleston parks, facilities, and fields require a permit for any organized event, and permits are subject to approval. If you are considering a city park or field for your child's party, plan on submitting a request well ahead of the date and confirm the approval status before you finalize the character booking. Ask the city directly whether the character entertainment you have in mind fits within the permit you receive.

Guest limits at Waterfront Park and White Point Garden

Events held at Waterfront Park or White Point Garden are limited to 25 people in total, and that count includes everyone at the event. For a birthday party, count the child, the adults, and any siblings before you choose a space. If your guest list is larger than 25, look at other locations or ask the city whether a different arrangement is possible.

Questions to ask before you book

Before you pick a character, consider asking the venue whether outside entertainers are permitted, how long the space is reserved for, and whether a shaded area or an indoor backup is available if the weather changes. Discuss with the character what activities might suit the group, such as a short meet-and-greet, a story, or a game, as options to talk through rather than included services.

Your program is shaped around your request. Activities and their order may differ from these examples.
