Springdale council approves alcohol service for St. Patrick’s Day event, grants local consent to Zion Canyon Brewpub
Summary
In a brief special meeting on Feb. 20, 2026, the Springdale Town Council approved a request to sell and serve alcohol at Town Field for a St. Patrick’s Day event on March 21 and granted written local consent for Zion Canyon Brewpub’s temporary single-event permit; city staff said required insurance and documentation were provided.
The Springdale Town Council approved a request to sell and serve alcohol at the town field for a St. Patrick’s Day event and granted local consent for Zion Canyon Brewpub’s temporary single-event permit during a short special meeting Friday.
Unidentified Presiding Officer opened the meeting at 1 p.m. at the Canyon Community Center and noted the applicant for the alcohol service request was Kate Campbell of the Zion Canyon Visitors Bureau. Robin Romero, the staff contact, told the council the applicant submitted the required event summary and insurance naming Springdale as an insured party. “So they’ve met all of their requirements,” the presiding speaker said.
An unidentified council member moved to approve the Visitors Bureau’s request to sell and serve alcohol at Springdale Town Field, 126 Lyon Boulevard, on March 21, 2026, citing compliance with town code section 7-6-13(e). The motion authorized the mayor to sign the necessary paperwork and was seconded; no objections were recorded in the transcript.
The council then considered a related request: written local consent for Zion Canyon Brewpub LLC to be considered by the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Services Commission for a temporary single-event permit. An unidentified council member read the motion text on the record, citing the statute referenced in the packet as Utah State Code section 32 b-9-201. Council members discussed that the permit would allow beer and wine only, not a full bar; one member noted prior years’ practice for similar annual events.
The council seconded the motion and recorded voice votes in favor, with multiple members answering "aye" on the roll call. The presiding speaker authorized the mayor to sign the consent. After those items, a motion to adjourn passed and the meeting concluded.
Town staff also announced a personnel transition: the presiding speaker said Tom will begin as town manager on March 25 and that a casual "Meet the New town manager" open house is scheduled for March 27 from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Canyon Community Center. Staff were asked to continue daily contact through Rick during the transition.
No public-comment controversy, petitions, or contested motions were recorded in the transcript; the meeting focused on processing the event permit and local consent and on announcing the manager transition. The council adjourned after completing the two permit actions.
