The Manhattan City Commission approved resolutions permitting alcohol at two city events during its Tuesday meeting, despite commissioner Jim Morrison’s pushback.
The commission voted to allow alcohol at concerts in the “Arts in the Park” series. This permit will apply to people possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages in the approved area within City Park from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on June 5, 12, and 26 and July 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.
The Parks and Recreation Department told the commission it plans to host a public watch party June 12 at Anneberg Park for the USA soccer international match against Paraguay. Commissioners permitted the sale of alcoholic beverages from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and possession and consumption from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. within the watch party area on the event date.
