Licensing board amends one-day permit to allow pouring at farmers-market event at 52 Ferry Street
Summary
Red Oak Hospitality’s request to allow pouring at a roped-off beer garden during a larger farmers-market celebration at 52 Ferry Street was approved; the operator said police details are scheduled and the amendment expands an earlier one-day permit to permit on-site pouring.
The Fall River Licensing Board on July 16 amended a previously granted one-day permit to allow pouring of alcoholic beverages at a roped-off beer garden tied to a larger farmers-market celebration at or near 52 Ferry Street.
Applicant Carl Pelletier of Red Oak Hospitality said the organizers expanded a farmers-market presence into a larger midsummer celebration that includes partnerships with other local vendors and activities such as a Coney Island hot-dog eating contest and a DJ. Pelletier told the board the event will use a roped-off beer garden area and that police details have been scheduled for crowd control.
A board member asked whether the amendment would permit pouring and serving on site; the applicant confirmed it would. The board moved to amend the previously granted one-day permit to add pouring within the approved area; the motion passed unanimously by the two members present.
The amendment applies only to the identified, roped-off area and the specific event described; no additional permanent policy changes were made. The board recorded no opposition on the transcript.
