Board approves 1-day liquor license for 2025 Quincy Pride at Pageant Field
Summary
The Board of Lisonbee Commissioners approved a special-use one-day liquor license for Quincy Pride on June 8, 2025, to allow sale of beer and wine at Pageant Field during the noon–4 p.m. event.
The Board of Lisonbee Commissioners voted April 29 to approve a special-use one-day liquor license for Quincy Pride’s event at Pageant Field on Sunday, June 8, 2025, from noon to 4 p.m.
Jay Southwood, representing Councilor Ash, Joanne Robinson and the Quincy Pride/Bridal Committee, told the board the event will move to Pageant Field this year and that the beer-and-wine sales will be in an area similar to prior Ruth Gordon series events. He said food trucks will be located on the opposite side of the park bathrooms and vendors will occupy open grassy areas.
The board asked no substantive questions before a motion to approve was made and seconded. Chair Crisco called the vote; commissioners indicated their approval by voice.
The approval allows Quincy Pride to operate a licensed area for alcoholic beverage sales during the specified four-hour period; the event organizer said Quincy Police will be involved and that private security may also be used. No changes to hours of operation beyond the June 8, noon–4 p.m. window were discussed. Details about any required liquor-liability insurance or specific security arrangements were not specified in the hearing.
The board’s approval clears the licensing step; any additional operational permits (for example, for tents or food vendors) would proceed through the relevant city departments as required.
