Overhead Main Street Banner Program

The Montrose Street Banner Program is an exciting way to catch the eyes of the thousands of people that drive down Main Street and Townsend Avenue each day. Organizations that wish to use the banner system must comply with the banner program guidelines. This program is provided as a public service to the community.

Participating organizations are responsible for designing and creating the banner, providing the banner to the city prior to installation, and retrieving it upon removal. Organizations must deliver completed banners to the city as early as practicable, preferably one to two weeks, but not less than three business days, before the approved installation date.

There is a $200 fee for one banner and $380 for two banners to partially offset the cost of having a third-party vendor install and remove the banner. Reservations for the program are set on a first-come, first-served basis. Organizations are encouraged to submit their applications early to reserve a requested time slot. In the event of competing requests for the same period, the city reserves the right to decide which event banner best serves the interests of the community.

The Montrose Street Banner program is organized by the City of Montrose, for advertising community events.
Applications and Approval
All organizations wishing to display an event banner shall complete and submit the banner application.

Except as provided in the Multiple Year Commitments section, applications for banner displaying will not be accepted more than one year prior to the first day of intended display. All applications must be approved by the City of Montrose. Approval of the design and display period should be obtained by the applying organization before banners are ordered. In the event of concurrent requests, priority will be determined according to the order in which a completed application was submitted, or at the discretion of the City of Montrose City Manager prioritizing the event venues that occur within the community, or unless otherwise specified in these guidelines.
Period of Display
The typical period of display is seven days. Should the event require a longer period of time, a formal request is required to be submitted with application. The seven-day period is intended to minimize scheduling conflicts but will also remain flexible when there are no conflicts.
