#AlFrescoGlendale
The Glendale City Council authorized the establishment of the Al Fresco Glendale Program. Phase I of the program allowed local dine-in restaurants to apply to extend to outdoor dining on both public and private properties. It provides businesses with a low-cost alternative to re-establish their customer base to pre-COVID levels by offering outdoor dining alternatives. Phase II extends the program to include retail, personal care and gym businesses with specific guidelines and restrictions.
The expanded program will facilitate temporary outdoor activity for the following businesses:
