Promised changes to Ontario liquor laws will take effect June 1, just in time for festival and patio season.
The changes include allowing people to walk around at festivals with drinks, instead of being confined to beer tents.
Servers will be allowed to carry drinks on public sidewalks to licensed areas such as patios.
Liquor hours for weddings and charity events are being extended until 2 a.m.
As well, customers can be given a free drink if they are celebrating a special occasion like an anniversary.
The changes include stiffer penalties for liquor offences.
The province floated the idea of looser liquor laws earlier this year, and consulted with more than 40 groups about the changes.
