Public Gathering Events

Public gathering means any social function that the general public could, if invited, attend. For example, a public gathering includes, but is not limited to, a wedding, recep- tion, funeral, reunion, or meeting of any organization, associ- ation, or corporation that is open to nonmembers. The term does not mean a meeting to which only members of a specific organization, association, or corporation are allowed to attend.

Public gatherings bring people together for shared experiences, from the electrifying thrill of a concert to the solemn commemoration of a religious service. These events, planned or spontaneous, large or small, can foster a sense of community and connection. However, itis crucial to be aware of your surroundings and prioritize safety in these situations.
