You can bring a lawn chair or a blanket. Please put them in the street (which will be closed to traffic) and not on the sidewalk. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. No coolers or outside alcoholic beverages are allowed. Please don’t place your chair in the street until after 4:30 p.m.
Double-Check Before You Head Out!

However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
