Quincy Board approves one-day liquor licenses for Kilroy Square Holiday Market
Summary
The Quincy City Board approved special-use and one-day liquor licenses for the Quincy Chamber of Commerce’s Kilroy Square Holiday Market, allowing on-site alcoholic sales inside the gallery and under event permits for specified late-November and December dates.
The Quincy City Board of Commissioners on Nov. 18 approved a request from the Quincy Chamber of Commerce for one-day liquor licenses and a special-use permit for the Kilroy Square Holiday Market. Helen Shiner, chair of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, told the board the market will run on specified Fridays and weekend dates in late November and December and include indoor and outdoor vendor areas.
Shiner described the event setup, saying, “We have an outdoor tent. It's approximately 20 by 130 feet. There are 2 heaters that supply heat to that tent.” She said 24 vendors will be arrayed around the tent, the Boy Scouts will sell wreaths and live Christmas trees on Kilroy Square, there will be live music (the Salvation Army band and local performers) roughly between noon and 5 p.m., and nine additional vendors will operate inside the gallery where food and alcoholic beverages will be served by Widowmaker Brewery and Dottie's.
Board members asked about permitting and propane for tent heating; Shiner said the tent company had already applied for and received the needed permit. A board member moved to approve the Chamber’s request and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor. The clerk confirmed the applicants were given approval to proceed.
Why this matters: the approvals permit alcohol service tied to a community holiday market that combines outdoor vendor space with indoor gallery service, and the board’s permissions depend on the applicant maintaining required permits and compliance with ABCC guidance posted on the city website.
The board completed the vote without recorded roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript; the clerk advised the applicants they were cleared to operate under the license terms discussed.
