As part of the Town's ongoing efforts to enhance the vibrancy of our community, the Town of Newmarket has implemented a new Temporary Patio Program Policy to provide framework and provisions for the establishment and operation of Temporary Patios by eating establishments within Newmarket. The policy [PDF/291KB] outlines different aspects of the program including eligibility, types of temporary patios, applications, evaluation criteria, operating requirements, and fees and charges. Key enhancements include multi-year approval and earlier application periods.
Applications [PDF/388KB] are now available for the 2024 season. Interested establishments are encouraged to submit a complete application between January 1 to February 1, 2024 for consideration.
How to Apply:

Following the application period, applications will be evaluated by Town Staff and permissions/denials will be issued at the end of February to provide businesses with time to prepare their patios.
