Tri‑Cities Pride requests council exemption to serve alcohol at Memorial Park festival
Summary
Organizers of Tri‑Cities Pride asked Pasco City for a special exemption from the city's ban on alcohol in parks so they can operate a beer garden during a Pride Festival at Memorial Park in June; city policy allows exemptions only if City Council approves them.
Tri‑Cities Pride organizers are requesting a special exemption from Pasco City's ban on alcohol in public parks so they may operate a beer garden during a Pride Festival at Memorial Park in June, the city's communications coordinator said.
Warner explained that alcohol is banned in Pasco parks when an event is open to the general public. Private events may receive approval with the proper permits, but any exemption for a public festival requires City Council approval.
The preview did not say whether organizers had submitted an official permit application or what public‑safety, vendor, or insurance conditions the council might require. City staff typically present permit conditions and recommended safeguards in the council packet or at the hearing when exemptions are considered.
