<p style="margin: 0;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span>I recently learned a little about this as we took over our outdoor movies this year. I wanted to set it up like our music in the park and have vendors, food and beer/wine. The city decided not to let us serve alcohol because it was geared towards families with younger kids, primarily animated movies. However, the City of Sherwood does allow you to bring your own alcohol to parks. They also have a beer/wine vendor at their own event, Music on the Green, which is in a public park.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span>So for Sherwood they do normally allow alcohol at events, but it does have to be permitted unless it is community members bringing their own. Of course the permit requires that the area be fenced off so they can monitor that the alcohol stays in a centralized location, but it can be set up so that kids can be allowed in the designated area as well. It just depends on the specifics of the event. </span></p>

<br/>> Hi All,
<br/>> We're thinking of an event in our downtown "city-owned" park where we serve
<br/>> wine/beer. This would , of course , be held in a fenced in area, for

<br/>> Currently our City does not allow alcohol in the park.

<br/>> Do any of your cities allow alcohol , perhaps through a permit process?
<br/>> Would love to see if there are examples of accommodating ordinances out
<br/>> there.

<br/>> Maybe, while we're at it, what about ordinances that allow alcohol served
<br/>> on sidewalks at eating establishments??

<br/>> Would love any input you might like to share.
