The Shakopee Chamber & Visitors Bureau is requesting the following locations to be closed at 11 a.m. (signs to be put up on the street and the Lewis Street parking lot on Wednesday October 2nd) until 5:30 p.m. on October 5, 2024 for the Shak-O-Lantern Festival:
- Lewis Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue
- Lewis Street parking lot
The event will take place from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., and include a vendor marketplace and food trucks in the Lewis Street parking lot , and Trunk or Treat vehicles on both sides of Lewis Street.
They are requesting that the City Council suspend city code 114.11 (A) Consumption and Possession on Public Streets, property and the like, to allow patrons to drink on the closed streets. No glass containers will be allowed on the street. Patrons of the festival will be able to purchase alcohol from the Shakopee Brew Hall and Mana Brewing on the closed streets only. Anyone drinking alcohol will be carded and wrist banded. | | |

Staff time will be needed to drop off and pick up barricades and garbage cans, post street, and parking lot closing signs and clear the streets. Most of this can be accomplished during normal working hours. | | |
