Some group would have to get an event permit and liquor license and set something up in a building or outdoors in a manner like the Oktoberfest tents that are licensed or like Ribfest. There is really no where in the province where you can walk around with open alcohol - its always confined to private property or venues with controlled-entries (and the requisite security, etc)(03-06-2018, 04:41 PM)NotStan Wrote: Totally agree. The Ezra street party and Oktoberfest are at opposite ends of the spectrum of even trying to comply with the law. If Laurier or UW wanted to have a "legal" party on their property, they could go about organizing it and getting the requisite approvals. It is interesting that neither has stepped up - I'm sure they liability scares the crap out of them.
It's hard to imagine the admin organizing this sort of event, since it doesn't exactly further the goals of the university. Student groups may think about it, but it would still be hard to imagine being sufficiently organized to run at the requisite scale.
