West Bend licensing board approves downtown holiday market permit; American Legion liquor license postponed
Summary
The West Bend licensing board approved a special-event permit for the Kris Kringle market and a 2025–26 amusement device license; the American Legion’s new liquor license application was postponed at the applicant’s request to Dec. 1.
The West Bend licensing board met Monday and approved a special-event permit for the 2025 Kris Kringle market and a new 2025–26 amusement device license, while postponing action on an American Legion application for a new Class B beer and Class C wine license.
Police Chief (speaker identified as chief) told the board the Kris Kringle market would require significant downtown street closures and could affect traffic patterns, noting that “the streets on 6th Avenue between Elm…will be shut down” for the event. After discussing traffic and safety mitigations, the board voted to grant the special-event permit.
Separately, the American Legion requested postponement of its liquor-license application; the board agreed and tabled the item to December 1. The amusement device license included in the packet was approved without further discussion.
The licensing board’s approvals were recorded by voice vote. No public-comment speakers were recorded on these items during the meeting.
