Morenci Social District

Welcome to Morenci's Social District!

A Social District is a designated area that allows patrons to purchase an alcoholic beverage in a specially marked to-go cup. The beverage can then travel outdoors with the consumer, but must not be taken into another establishment.

Morenci's Social District operates on an event-based model. This means that businesses must obtain approval from the City Council to open the social district for special events.

Each participating business provides plastic cups with its logo and the social district logo to ensure the origin of each drink is regulated. Beverages must be finished before entering another establishment.

Social District Map

The Morenci Social District is divided into a north zone and a south zone.

The north zone encompasses the parking lot behind Flats Pub and extends south to the middle of Main Street.

The south zone includes the municipal parking lot behind Morenci Eagles and extends north to the middle of Main Street.

Zones can be opened separately or together for events where a street closure is permitted. Either business could request opening only the area behind their establishment instead of opening the entire zone.

Maps will be posted and boundaries will be clearly marked for each event where the Social District is open.
