A PSNI legal bid to shut several off-licences during the Twelfth parade in Belfast follows a similar move for St Patrick's Day.
Police last week withdrew a court application for closure orders against several traders after some agreed to shut for limited hours.
The move was based on concerns that selling alcohol in areas close to the parade route could heighten the risk of public disorder.
It comes after the PSNI took similar action for St Patrick's Day earlier this year for off-licences around the Holylands student area of south Belfast.
Five off-licences closed voluntarily for several hours on St Patrick's Day when throngs of revellers usually gather over the holiday period.
At the time the PSNI refused to confirm the voluntary agreement had been reached after police had first sought closure orders through the courts.
However, court records later showed police made the application at Belfast Magistrates Court in February, and it was subsequently withdrawn on March 13.
In May, The Irish News asked police if they would be seeking closure orders for the Twelfth of July period in a similar way to St Patrick's Day.
In a statement at the time PSNI superintendent Robert Murdie did not specifically address the question of possible court action in future.
"Police in Belfast entered into a voluntary arrangement with a number of off licences in the city to help keep people safe on St Patrick's Day this year," he said.
"We are grateful to the off-licences for limiting their opening hours which we believed helped to prevent some people celebrating to excess.
"We will consider seeking similar arrangements for any future large scale public events where it is determined that such a closure would help to keep people safe."
