11. I am hosting a public event at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center and would like to have alcohol sales as a part of my event. What should I do?

To allow alcohol sales in our venue, we require renters to choose one of our approved caterers with a “Liquor by the Drink” license to handle bartending and sales. We also require any public events with alcohol to submit a security plan one month in advance, complete with the number of officers (contact Clarksville Police Department (CPD) or CMCSO to secure officers for your event) secured for your event. If the event is hosted by a 501c3 organization, a Beer Permit issued by the Beer Board must be submitted to the Facility Promotions Supervisor no later than two weeks in advance.
