Permission for demonstrations, marches and parades

You need permission to hold a public demonstration, march or parade.

We authorise public demonstrations, marches and parades in Dumfries and Galloway. We work closely with Police Scotland to ensure that these events are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption or inconvenience.

You can use our online database to see applications that are awaiting approval and those that have already been approved or prohibited.
