3. ENJOY ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE!

In downtown Logan, locals and tourists can enjoy a stroll and a drink Monday - Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Beer, wine, & cocktails can be consumed inside DORA boundaries by purchasing drinks from participating DORA establishments. Consumers should expect to pay a $1 DORA fee and all DORA drinks must be consumed from approved DORA cups, distributed by participating DORA establishments. We want our community to enjoy DORA and contribute to the positive impact it will have in Logan. Find information and resources on this page about Logan's DORA.

The Logan Police Department will be visibly present and will be readily available should concerns arise. Special events may be required to provide additional police and public works staffing on an as needed basis.
