Easton Alfresco

Outdoor Dining Program Guidelines

Purpose

  • To assist our restaurants throughout the City by increasing capacity and strengthening the opportunity for business retention and growth following the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To emphasize the vibrancy and distinctiveness of Easton's restaurant industry.
  • To promote outdoor dining and, thereby, nourish the community and greater sociability.

Program Information

The City will permit access to public, on-street parking spaces for the purpose of allowing permitted restaurants to use said area for extended, outdoor seating. Applicants will be limited to the parking space(s) that are directly in front of, or adjacent to, their physical location - subject to availability and approval by the City.

Operations will be allowed in the permitted areas Monday through Sunday, from 7am to 10pm. The seating of patrons must cease by 9:00pm (please note the change from 9:30 in 2024). The City will provide concrete barriers to delineate the permitted space and to offer protection from vehicle traffic. Authorized restaurants will need to provide any other equipment or furnishings necessary to operate their businesses outdoors (tables, chairs, etc.).

Permits to participate in the program are available via the application and accessible through the City's OpenGov platform.

The 2025 "Easton Alfresco" program began Friday, 5/2 and will run until Sunday, 11/2.

Program Area

The permitted area where defined spaces will be made available will include on-street, metered parking throughout the City. Allocated spaces will be immediately adjacent or proximate to the authorized business, where available.

Please note:

  • Surface parking lot spaces will not be available for this program.
  • No parking spaces within the four plazas of Downtown's Centre Square will be eligible for the program.
  • Other areas may be excluded, as necessary.

Spaces

An applicant may apply for the use of up to two (2) parking spaces for outdoor dining purposes.

If you are intending to additionally utilize the sidewalk space in front of your business, please fill out and submit the "Outdoor Cafe Application". Send application via email to Julie Klabunde.
