Vallejo, CA Public Conduct: Public Alcohol Use (2026)

C. C. 010 prohibits selling, furnishing, drinking, consuming, exhibiting, displaying, or possessing an open container, bottle, can, thermal jar, jug, or other vessel holding any alcoholic or intoxicating beverage on any public street, sidewalk, alley, lane, way, highway, parking lot, park, or playground, and even on private parking lots open to the public regardless of whether a parking fee is charged. C. (2d), separately makes it an infraction to possess an opened alcoholic beverage container on, or on the sidewalk immediately adjacent to, the posted premises of any off-sale liquor store; those retailers must post permanent warning signs, replace damaged or stolen signs within seven days, and report any damage or theft to public works within forty-eight hours, or the licensee itself is guilty of an infraction.

020 carves out four exceptions: public golf courses and driving ranges under the operator's own rules; public buildings or facilities under a written permit; Greater Vallejo Recreation District parks in designated picnic areas or under a District permit reviewed by the chief of police; and any location covered by a city manager permit, appealable to the city council within ten days of denial. 030 requires that any permitted sale also carry a State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control license filed with the chief of police before sales begin.
