Beer Bath, Los Estecas and neighbors cleared to run Sept. 6 community beer‑garden and music pop‑up

Owners and event planners for Beer Bath and Los Estecas told the board they plan a community pop‑up event on Sept. 6 in the Princess Shopping Center that will combine live music, vendor food and a fenced beer‑garden in the center’s rear parking area.

Katie Baron of Beer Bath explained the event committee’s goals: showcase businesses in the plaza and support Bow Strong, a local charitable organization whose members include musicians scheduled to perform. Fernando Vedrano of Los Estecas said the restaurant will offer a limited appetizer menu and margaritas from a separate canopy; Beer Bath asked to operate a beer garden under its awning and to extend service into the roped‑off back lot.

Organizers said the landlord has given permission to use the back parking lot, the staging will include a flatbed stage for bands, Crossroads Church will provide volunteer crowd monitoring and Mad House Boxing will host family activities. The group said the back lot will be coned or roped off to control access; wristbands were planned for patrons who purchase alcohol.

The board asked about fencing, staging, crowd control and noise; organizers said the layout is constrained by high walls around the rear lot, limiting egress, and that the event will run from noon to 4 p.m. Commissioners raised no objections. The board granted the request for a one‑day outdoor beer‑garden permit on the condition the layout follow the submitted diagram and that organizers maintain the roped perimeter and wristbanding controls during alcohol service.
