I plan to serve alcohol at my event. What do I need to do?

In accordance with Indiana state law, alcohol must be served by a licensed bartender and proof of license must be provided prior to the event.  A list of recommended bartenders is available upon request.

For events serving only beer and wine (no liquor), a temporary license may be obtained in place of hiring a bartender.  The Local Authorization Form will need to be signed and completed first followed by applying online for the alcohol permit through Access Indiana. The application must be submitted through Access Indiana 5 days prior to the event date or it will be denied by the state.
