According to town officials, Dennis police responded to 459 calls for serviceon July 4 last year.
Daily parking passes to Dennis beaches won’t be sold on July Fourth. You’ll need a weekly pass or a residential or seasonal sticker to get into the beach parking lots. You can’t park on local streets, either, since police will be enforcing a parking ban in nearby neighborhoods. Police will stop drivers on the way to Mayflower Beach or Chapin Beach at new checkpoints on Rte. 6A. Only those with a pass or sticker will be able to go farther. Everyone else, including those who arrive in a ride share, must disembark and start walking. From the checkpoint, it’s about a two-mile walk to Chapin Beach, and just over a mile’s walk to Mayflower Beach.
Lastly, there will be a “zero tolerance” policy for loud music, alcohol and drug use at Dennis beaches, which officials hope will curb disorderly conduct. Violating this will result in a written citation and $50 fine. All regulations are only in effect for this 24-hour, Fourth of July period, according to Dennis Police., but that doesn’t mean the curtain’s closing over at TD Garden. The arena is set to host 90 non-sporting events — including a record 56 concerts — this year.
Summer fun: Whether it’s a night of music with Usher, Weezer or Kacey Musgraves, or a smackdown courtesy of WWE’s Monday Night RAW, the summer offseason draws in foot traffic while the Bruins and Celtics rest. “Our goal is for this to become the norm,” Thornborough told WBUR. “Our calendar is pretty packed, but we’re open for business. So, if there’s an opportunity for us to provide something that the market is interested in, we would love to host.
