San Francisco is adding a new wrinkle to its downtown revitalization plans by launching the state's first-ever "entertainment zone" for its upcoming Okoberfest celebration.

On Thursday, Mayor London Breed announced the Oktoberfest on Front event on September 20 will allow people to enjoy and carry their beer and drinks to-go within the designated entertainment zone on Front Street during the festival.

California Senate Bill 76, which went into effect in January, allows cities and counties to authorize consumption of alcoholic beverages on public streets, sidewalks, or public rights-of-way during special events.
