HILLARY CLINTON'S campaign is planning an event on Independence Mall the day after the Democratic National Convention ends.

The Clinton campaign has been granted a public assembly permit for part of Independence National Historical Park on July 29, according to the National Park Service.

A list of permits approved for the park during the DNC says the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's campaign has a permit for part of the grounds from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The convention is slated to take place at the Wells Fargo Center from July 25 to 28.

The permit for the former secretary of state's campaign is for the grass lawn near the Liberty Bell, between Chestnut and Market Streets from Fifth to Sixth Streets.

A Park Service spokesman said the agency had no additional details about the event the campaign is planning. The campaign's application was received late last week and the permit is still in the process of being issued, according to the Park Service. That's expected to happen by early next week.

Clinton campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Formas said she couldn't confirm the event or offer any details.

Other event permits at the park for July 29 were granted to MSNBC and the National Constitution Center's PoliticalFest.

Other groups approved for the week of the DNC include: "Berners," a gathering of Bernie Sanders supporters, who will then march to the Wells Fargo Center; "The American Dream," a melting ice sculpture; Unitarian Society of Germantown; Shalom International, a rally for Israel; and Food and Water Watch.

The Clinton campaign's permit was first reported by Billy Penn.
