ST. CLOUD, Fla. — St. Cloud city leaders are extending the number of days that people in the downtown area can enjoy alcohol outdoors in the entertainment district to seven days a week.
The city council voted on Thursday in favor of the extension, taking effect immediately. The former entertainment district alcohol consumption timeframes were Wednesday through Saturday. The hours will remain 11 a.m. to midnight after the city council previously discussed extending hours to 1 a.m.
“It’s a lot less confusing. People don’t have to try to remember, ‘Is that today, or is that not today?’ Also, it’s a benefit to our downtown businesses. So, we’re hoping that it drives more people to come down, enjoy our beautiful shops and restaurants, our beautiful downtown area, and enjoy just everything we have to offer here,” St. Cloud Communications Director Maryemma Bachelder said…
