The Leesburg Town Council has adopted a formal process for considering awareness displays on Town property. 

The formalized process spells out guidelines for considering:

• Ceremonial flag-raisings;

• Illumination of the façade of Town Hall along the Town Green;

• Placement of ribbons in support of different causes.

Per the adopted policy, awareness displays will be limited to seven continuous calendar days for flag-raisings, or 30 continuous calendar days for ribbon placements or illuminations.

Members of the public or organizations who wish to request an awareness display will be required to submit an Application for Awareness Display on Town Property to the Parks & Recreation Department at least 60 days in advance. Other guidelines apply, so individuals, organizations, or groups who wish to submit a request for an awareness display should first refer to the guidelines adopted by the Town Council.

The Town Council will discuss any requests for awareness displays at a Council work session after the request has been submitted. Should the awareness display receive majority support, it will be placed on a regular business meeting agenda for approval.

Questions about awareness displays should be directed to Events Staff at 703-777-1368 or events@leesburgva.gov.
