Bristol Council approves Dewolf Tavern's Oysterfest and Bristol Sports Club bingo license

The Bristol Town Council convened on April 23, 2025, to discuss several community-focused initiatives, including a request for an Oysterfest fundraiser and a bingo license that aim to enhance local engagement and support.

In a significant move for community festivities, Dewolf Tavern has been granted permission to hold the Oysterfest fundraiser on Sunday, June 15, from 11 AM to 4 PM. The council approved a one-day liquor license extension to cover outdoor areas and allowed the display of two banners on Hope Street for two weeks leading up to the event. This decision reflects the council's commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering community spirit through events that bring residents together.

Additionally, the Bristol Sports Club, represented by Eliseo Castro, received approval for a bingo license for an event scheduled on Thursday, May 22, from 6 PM to 9 PM. This initiative is expected to provide a fun and engaging activity for residents while also supporting the club's ongoing efforts to promote sports and community involvement.

The meeting also included discussions about the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations, led by Charles MacDon from the Bristol Fourth of July Committee, although specific details from that segment were not disclosed in the transcript.

These approvals highlight the council's focus on enhancing community activities and supporting local organizations, which are vital for fostering a vibrant and connected Bristol. As these events approach, residents can look forward to opportunities for engagement and celebration in their town.
