DORA HAS
ARRIVED.
Liberty Center launched its Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area
on Monday, April 1, 2019.
The DORA program allows patrons at any participating establishments to purchase and carry an open alcoholic beverage in a designated plastic cup.
We hope to see you enjoying the DORA in Liberty Center’s green spaces, while you shop, and during the outdoor events.
As with most things in life, there are a few rules and guidelines. Please check out the list of FAQs and rules below.
Remember, speak softly and carry a stiff drink... in your DORA cup!

Are DORA beverages permitted at all events hosted and sponsored by Liberty Center?
Yes, but Liberty Center reserves the right to suspend the DORA for any events or activities that may not be suitable for an open container environment (i.e. inflatable games, fitness classes, simulation experiences, etc.). Any suspension of the DORA at Liberty Center events will be noted as such on marketing materials and at the event.
Are DORA beverages permitted at all events hosted and sponsored by Liberty Center tenants or outside organizations?
No. For instance, DORA beverages are not permitted at events hosted by MidPointe Library Liberty. Events hosted by non-profit organizations may include temporary liquor permits and would suspend all DORA activity within that designated area for the duration of the event.
