Smoking Law

The Minnesota smoking ban applies to all enclosed buildings, including buildings like the Moondance Saloon with garage doors open. The "theater" loophole does not apply - even if you are already in costume.

The Lazy Moon screened in deck will be the only place connected to a building where it will be allowed. Tented areas like VIP, as long as they are not enclosed will be alright also. But even in those areas where smoking is allowed, please be respectful to the people around you and discard your cigarette butts in the appropriate places, not on the ground.

Can I Have a Private Party or Event at Moondance?

Yes. The Moondance Events grounds and facilities are available to rent for small and large private parties and events. Go to moondanceevents.net for more information.
