Host Your Special Event at Port Canaveral
The Canaveral Port Authority (CPA) accepts Special Event Requests during two periods each year: March 1–31 and September 1–30. Requests must be submitted at least 90 days before the event date and are reviewed in accordance with CPA policies outlined in the request form. Special Events on Port property (Cruise Terminals, the Exploration Tower Lawn, the Cove, Jetty Park, etc.) will not be allowed unless a Special Event request has been submitted and approved. The Exploration Tower is currently closed until further notice and is not available as a Special Event venue.
