Cheyenne prohibits open alcohol containers on public streets, sidewalks, and parks under Title 5 beverage code and Title 9 public peace provisions, with exceptions during permitted special events like Cheyenne Frontier Days.
Cheyenne Code Title 5 governs alcoholic beverages while Title 9 addresses public peace offenses including public intoxication and open container violations. Carrying open beer, wine, or liquor on city streets, sidewalks, alleys, or in parks is generally prohibited. Special event permits during Cheyenne Frontier Days, Depot Days, and similar events can establish temporary alcohol zones with relaxed rules. Wyoming has no statewide open container preemption, so Cheyenne can enforce its own rules. Penalties typically run as municipal misdemeanors with fines up to several hundred dollars. Public intoxication remains separately punishable under Title 9.
Carrying open alcohol on streets, sidewalks, or in parks outside permitted event zones triggers municipal misdemeanor citations, fines, and possible additional charges if intoxication or disorderly conduct is involved.
