Update: Chilifest President Hunter Koch said Friday afternoon that the policy has been amended to allow participants to bring their own alcohol or purchase it through the presale to be delivered onsite.

"...The BYOB aspect of the event will be limited to Friday," according to the statement posted by Chilifest on Twitter. "Saturday will not permit BYOB, which are the same rules from past years. One rule that is different from last year, is that bagged drinks will not be permitted. This comes from our first responder team, due to the safety of our patrons."

Original story: Participants in the annual two-day Chilifest music festival in Snook will no longer be allowed to take their own alcohol to the event, according to team rules distributed Friday and a Chilifest spokesman.

According to documents given to those registering teams for the April event on Friday morning, no outside alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the festival grounds.

Instead, participants are asked to pre-order select alcohol beverages through a Chilifest- and TABC-certified vendor. Proceeds from the alcohol sales will be included in the organization's annual donation to nonprofit groups around the Brazos Valley.
