The council approved a resolution to waive the city's prohibition on possession of alcoholic beverages on a portion of Division Street for Fondue Fest on Sept. 6, 2025, with restrictions including no glass containers and staff monitoring for compliance.
The Fond du Lac City Council unanimously authorized a temporary waiver of the city's prohibition on alcoholic beverages on public ways for Fondue Fest, scheduled Sept. 6, 2025, on a portion of Division Street.
City Clerk Emily Hefter said the waiver covers Division Street between Main and Macy streets from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 6. The resolution requires that no glass containers or carry-ins be permitted in the designated area, that the applicant post signage indicating the event boundary, and that event staff monitor compliance.
