MYANMORE TRACKS EVENTS DURING ALCOHOL SALES BAN
With final exams beginning in Yangon schools and universities, a ban on the sale of alcohol after 10pm has begun as of today, ends on Thursday, March 17th. A similar law was instituted last year as well. Plenty is happening during this 9-day period, unfortunately, the big events have had to institute some changes.
Here are a few upcoming events that will be adjusted, or rescheduled altogether while the ban is in effect. MYANMORE will be updating the list as we get the news. Email [email protected] if your event is being rescheduled.
#WDGAF feat. Big Bag and Count the Thief
The event will not be postponed, still on for March 11th at People’s Park. The concert will end at 10pm though. So don’t come too late or else you may miss half the show.

Yangon’s newest party promotion company, Full Stop Events, has postponed their debut. The new date is Saturday, March 26th at the Yangon International Hotel. This hotel hasn’t seen much action party-wise, but Full Stop is ready to take full advantage of the under utilized Sky Bar. Besides one of the best views in Yangon, there will be two DJs, a photo booth and top-notch sound & lighting. You can also expect a proper after hours party at Pioneer Nightclub once Yangon International has had enough.
