Attached for your consideration is a request from the State Street District to close State Street from William to Liberty Streets and North University between State and Fletcher Streets on Saturday, September 21, 2019 from 6:00 AM until 1:00 AM on Sunday, September 22, 2019 for the Game Watch on State Street event.

The State Street District is excited to bring entertainment, including live music to downtown Ann Arbor. This event, last held in 2017, will be particularly exciting as it will allow all participants to watch the University of Michigan vs. Wisconsin game on portable big screens at either end of State Street. There will be a beer garden and DJ included in this event.

The sponsor will submit an application for approval from the State of Michigan Liquor Control Commission for temporary sales, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the defined areas, pursuant to the MLCC regulations.

The sponsor agrees to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, to comply with all City regulations governing the use of the street, and will reimburse the City for all event expenses. Notification of the street closings will be provided through the City's website, GovDelivery and the sponsor's website and social media. Neighboring businesses will be informed of this event via the District.
