Dear Special Event Liquor Permit Applicant:

Please find enclosed a Special Event Permit Application. A special event license is issued to

an educational, fraternal, political, civic, religious or non-profit organization only for

authorization to sale beer or wine, or both, only for consumption at the location and on the

dates designated on the approved special event license. This application must be

completed in its entirety and returned to the Cook County Liquor Control Commission.

Prior to filing the Special Event Permit Application, applicants must first report to the

Building and Zoning Department. They are located at 69 W. Washington, 28th Floor, and

their email address is info.bnz@cookcountyil.gov. Building and Zoning will conduct an

inspection of the premises and review any additional requirements prior to approving your

application. Also, if the special event is on Cook County Forest Preserve property please

contacts them at 1-800-870-3666.

When submitting your application to the Cook County Liquor Control Commission, you

must include a copy of your dram shop liquor liability insurance policy in an amount of at

least $1,000,000 that will be in effect for the duration of your special event. Please note,

the license is valid for the sale of beer and wine only during the hours 10:00 am to 10:30

pm Monday through Thursday, from 10:00 am to 2:00 am Friday and Saturday, and from

12:00 pm to 10:30 pm on Sunday. Please note, these hours may vary with the Forest

Preserve property. Additionally, an applicant is only permitted 12 Special Event Licenses per

calendar year.

If your application is approved, you will receive a Cook County Special Event Liquor Permit.

You must then obtain a special event license from the Illinois State Liquor Control

Commission. The State Liquor Commission is located at 100 West Randolph Street, 7th

floor, Chicago, Illinois. Their phone number is (312) 814-2206.

Please do not hesitate to call Valyncia Jones (312) 603-3727 or Zahra Ali at (312) 603-5498
