This applies whether the alcohol is sold or given away. A Special Designated Permit is not available in city parks. Because this request is reviewed and acted upon by City Council, the request for a permit must be submitted a minimum of three weeks before the event. If the permit is granted, it is the applicant's responsibility to follow all state and local liquor laws strictly throughout the event. Develop a policy before the event and have it visibly posted during the event.
State law requires that the area where alcohol is served be confined.
If outside, the area must be fenced in. If inside, the area must be roped off or confined to inside the building. No alcohol is allowed outside the prescribed boundaries. The applicant is responsible for enforcing this law at the event. Experienced persons should check ID's at the entrance to the area where alcohol is served and again at the point of sale.
