Pawtucket license board approves several entertainment permits, amends one end time to 11 p.m.
Summary
The Pawtucket Board of License Commission approved multiple entertainment licenses, including a Cape Verdean festival, a Built Different event with an amended 11 p.m. end time, and Saint Mary's holiday bazaar.
The Pawtucket Board of License Commission approved several entertainment licenses and related petitions at its meeting, granting permission for indoor and outdoor events and setting conditions in one case.
The permit actions included approval for the Cape Verdean American Community Development to hold a festival and sell alcoholic beverages at 120 High Street on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The board also approved a petition from Built Different Entertainment for an event at 249 Main Street, amending the proposed midnight end time to 11 p.m. after councilor concern; Councilor Rubio moved the amended approval and Councilor Moreno seconded. The commission approved Saint Mary's Antiochian Orthodox Church’s request to conduct an annual holiday bazaar and sell beer and wine at 60 Saint Mary Way on Nov. 7–9, 2025.
Each petition was taken up in turn and passed without recorded opposition. For the Built Different event the board explicitly approved a revised closing time of 11 p.m., per a district councilor's request. The Cape Verdean festival and Saint Mary's bazaar received routine approvals under the board's standard review; the Cape Verdean petitioner was not present at the meeting but the board moved to approve based on prior occurrences and paperwork on file.
The licenses are subject to standard conditions for public events and to applicable local ordinances; the board did not record additional special conditions beyond the amended end time for the Built Different event. The clerk recorded the approvals in the board minutes.
