Tlalpan Enforces Weekend Alcohol Ban in Miguel Hidalgo Neighborhood

The Tlalpan delegation has implemented a "dry law" in the Miguel Hidalgo Primera Sección neighborhood, prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages of all strengths throughout the upcoming weekend. This measure aims to regulate activities and ensure public order during the specified period.

According to an official announcement in the Gaceta Oficial, the suspension of alcohol-related activities will commence at midnight on Friday, August 21, 2026, and will remain in effect until midnight on Sunday, August 23, 2026. The decree targets a wide range of establishments that typically engage in the sale or consumption of alcohol.

This prohibition extends to businesses such as wine shops, grocery stores, supermarkets with liquor licenses, convenience stores, and department stores. It also includes hospitality venues like hotels, clubs, cantinas, pulquerías, breweries, peñas, cabarets, nightclubs, discotheques, and party halls. Furthermore, any temporary establishments set up for fairs, popular festivities, or traditional events in public spaces are also subject to this ban.

The "dry law" also explicitly forbids the sale and consumption of alcohol at public events like fairs, romerías, kermeses, tianguis, markets, and other similar gatherings where alcoholic beverages are typically offered. This comprehensive measure seeks to control the availability and consumption of alcohol across various commercial and public settings within the designated neighborhood.
