approved 1-6-1971; amended 6-7-2011, approved 9-15-2011 (§ 61.2 of the 2011 General By-Laws)]
No outdoor music festival shall be conducted within the Town
of Dartmouth without a license from the Select Board. In considering
an application for such license, the Selectpersons shall determine
whether adequate police and fire protection and health safeguards
will be provided.
No license shall be granted until the applicant has furnished
a bond in the sum of $100,000 issued by a surety company authorized
to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, conditioned to
indemnify the Town of Dartmouth for any loss, damage or liability
caused by the conduct of such festival and guaranteeing payment of
all expenses incurred by the Town of Dartmouth in providing police
and fire protection at such festival. Should it determine that the
Town's interests will not be adversely affected, the Select Board
may, in its discretion, waive the bond requirement of this By-Law.
