If alcoholic beverages are to be served or sold during the Event, and Event Holder is not using one of the approved caterers to serve or sell such alcoholic beverages, Event Holder is responsible for obtaining all appropriate permits from the North Carolina ABC Commission (919.779.0700). Event Holder must ensure that at-tendees of the Event do not carry alcoholic beverages outside the boundaries of the Event (e.g., placing trash cans at designated exits for the disposal of alcoholic beverages, placing stanchions or other barriers to designate the boundaries of the Event, etc.). If Event Holder uses an approved caterer to serve or sell alcoholic beverages during the Event, the caterer will obtain the applicable ABC Commission permit for the Event. Beer may not be served or sold from kegs. Beer may be served or sold in plastic bottles only.

Event Holder shall implement a control plan to monitor the serving and consumption of alcoholic beverages during the Event. This plan should comply with all applicable laws and, at a minimum, address limiting the serving of alcohol to intoxicated persons. Event Holder is responsible for any liability arising out of or resulting from the serving of alcoholic beverages at the Event.

If Event Holder plans to serve or sell food at the Event, Event Holder will need to obtain a Temporary Event/Festival Food Vendor permit from the Mecklenburg County Environmental Health Specialist’s office (704.336.5524) prior to serving any food, even if the Event is only for one day. However, it is our understanding that 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations may be exempt from this requirement in limited circumstances, but Event Holder should contact the Environmental Health Specialist’s office to confirm. Please advise us promptly if the County will not require the permit by sending us the County’s documentation.
