PARK SERVICE REGULATIONS PERMIT ALCOHOL PURCHASED ON-SITE ONLY
*** NO B.Y.O.B!! ***

Forget about bringing a private stash of beer, wine or liquor to the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department Barbeque. All coolers will be inspected at the entrance gate and individuals attempting to bring alcoholic beverages into the popular event will be asked to leave the booze behind.

Stricter enforcement of the long-standing rule comes at the request of the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Two rangers will be present at the event to monitor compliance. Lax enforcement would almost certainly lead to revocation of the MBVFD’s permit to use the parking area which is located on state property. The barbeque is the volunteer fire department’s major fundraiser. Cancellation would be a financial disaster for the department.

Beer, wine and soft drinks will not be in short supply, however, and will be available for purchase at the concession booth throughout the day. Anyone buying alcohol must be wearing a color-coded wristband. The plastic bracelets will be issued at the entrance gate after an ID check. As usual, Marin County Sheriff’s Deputies will also be on hand, this year, undercover agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board will also circulate through the crowd.

Engine 676 MUIR BEACH is one of the smallest communities in the Bay Area, and without question one of the most beautiful. To keep it safe for those of us who live here as well for the many visitors to our corner of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, more than a dozen members of our community donate a huge part of their time serving as our VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
