A licensed area on campus for those ages 19 and olderLindsay Dowling-Savelle, spokeswoman for Dal, said there will also be a festival organized by Beta Entertainment at the Garrison Grounds in the evening.

On Sept. 16, Larch and Jennings streets will be closed to allow residents of the area to come together and paint under the guidance of artist Tayla Fern Paul.
