New Castle County Issues Warning On Pop-Up Parties

After a tragic incident, The New Castle County Division of Police has responded to an increase in pop-up parties or events advertised on social media.

According to 6ABC “A female teenager was shot in New Castle County, Delaware park early Thursday morning. Officials say a large group was gathered in Glasgow Park when the shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. They say it was a so-called “pop-up party” and it was promoted via social media. The 16-year-old victim is in stable condition.”

The New Castle County Division of Police cites multiple reasons of why these parties are dangerous. They say that these gatherings pose a threat to parklands and can get out of hand very easily due to the amount of people who show up.

These pop-up parties are promoted via social media and can garner an influx of people quickly.

Venues can lack proper security, exits, and may lack crowd control measures.

Pop-up parties can also cause a disturbance to pre-planned and permitted events at parks.

The New Castle County Division of Police has issues rules on conducting and planning a party in the parks:

  • The Parks Permits Office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Please note:
  • The rental season runs from April 1st to October 31st.
  • All pavilion rentals and payments must be done online.
  • Pavilions must be reserved a minimum of 7 days in advance.
  • The Parks Permits office requires 14 days to process all new requests for non-pavilion rentals.
  • Amplified sound is not permitted in New Castle County Parks.
  • Alcoholic beverages and/or illegal substances are prohibited in County Parkland.
  • Parking and/or driving on the grass and/or walking path(s) is prohibited.
  • Admission fees or fees for rented games/booths may not be charged in County parks.
  • Police coverage is now required for any event with a total attendance of over 200 and/or at the discretion of the Parks Permits office. The permittee is responsible for paying all additional costs associated with additional services.

Food trucks have become a favorite among people across the US over the last decade or so.  Whether you’re grabbing a bite on your lunch break, dinner at your kid’s soccer game or a snack at a music festival, food trucks are always a great choice for fresh, cooked to order meals.
