Alcohol in County Parks No Longer Permitted as of July 1
Anyone who has enjoyed a glass of wine, beer or a cocktail at local parks during the pandemic will have to find something else to wash down their meal.
As of July 1, Montgomery Parks will no longer allow alcohol consumption without a permit in the 13 parks that have been participating in the Picnic in the Park program. The program’s demise was made in response to Maryland ending its COVID-19 State of Emergency as of July 1. During the pandemic, alcohol delivery and take-out from food and beverage establishments to outdoor parks was permitted.
Live music, food, alcohol will be available

For pups sniffing out some fun this summer, the Montgomery County Parks Department will host a pop-up place to play in Chevy Chase on July 8.
The one-afternoon pop-up dog park will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Elm Street Urban Park.
There will be live music, food and alcohol for sale to human attendees. Dogs are free to romp in a fenced-in park.
There will be separate sections for large and small dogs, according to the Montgomery County Parks Department.
The event will be held about 1 mile from the location of a future permanent dog park location in downtown Bethesda.
