Please drink responsibly and dispose of all trash in marked containers.

When:
Thursdays from 5:00pm to 10:00pm
Fridays from 5:00pm to 11:00pm
Saturdays from 12:00pm to 11:00pm

The Crestline Police Department will be visibly present during DORA events and will be readily available should concerns arise. Special events may be required to provide additional police and public works staffing on an as needed basis.
