What You Need to Know if you are going to Miffland

April 29, 2011 7:42 am

Here’s info that I’ve been told as one of the volunteers that you might like to know if you’re going to Miffland tomorrow. And a little more. Basicially, no glass, beer only, no tickets needed to get in to the event, alcohol in the streets needs to be in the “event area” but you can bring your own, music schedule below, expect lots of cops, stay safe, don’t be stupid and you won’t get a ticket.

EVENT AREA
Streets included in the perimeter of the permit are:
· The 400-500 blocks of W. Mifflin St. starting at 6am to 9:00pm.
· The 10 &100 blocks of Bassett St. starting at 11am to 9:00pm.
Bassett will remain open until 11am.

The entry and exits are at:
Mifflin/Broom
Bassett/W Wash
Bassett/Dayton
Mifflin/Bedford

There will be traffic control barricades with signage as follows:
At entry, signage will read:
· NO GLASS PERMITTED
· UNDERAGE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL PROHIBITED
At exit, signage will read:
· NO ALCOHOL BEYOND THIS POINT

AVOIDING TICKETS
Rules to know to avoid tickets:
· Glass containers of any kind are prohibited.
· Only beer is allowed, all other alcoholic beverages are prohibited.

At least one MPD officer will be stationed at each barricade at all times.

· RTM will not enforce open container laws; they can only encourage cooperation.

BEER
· Event beer will be on sale, but participants can bring their own beer.

· MPD will not enforce event beer, nor does RTM security have the authority to remove people from the area or take beverages away from people of legal drinking age.
