2010 Bele Chere Festival Alcohol Policy:
Alcohol is only available on Friday and
Saturday at beverage stations and satellite locations throughout the festival.  Alcoholic beverages will NOT be sold on Sunday nor can they be carried on the streets on Sunday.  (Alcohol will be available on Sunday in downtown restaurants and bars.)  Only one alcoholic beverage per person per visit will be sold.

You MUST have a $2 wristband to purchase and carry alcohol on the streets during Bele Chere.  Wristband booths are located next to the beverage stations.

Be prepared to show a valid picture ID before each purchase.  Regardless of age, everyone MUST show an ID every time you purchase an alcoholic beverage because a wristband itself is not proof of age.  A wristband is not required to drink inside a downtown restaurant or bar.

The Bele Chere Festival accepts the following valid forms of identification:

• Driver's license from any state
• NC State ID card
• Military ID that is valid
• Passport

Alcohol Free Areas: The Food Lion Children's Area inside the Civic Center has been designated as an alcohol-free zone through out the weekend.
