The City of Quincy Board of License Commissioners on Feb. 24 approved special-use permits and one-day liquor licenses for two memorial runs, school and nonprofit fundraisers, a series of stadium dates for the New England Freejacks and permission for a Marina Bay taproom to use adjacent boardwalk space for outdoor service. All items passed by voice vote.
The City of Quincy Board of License Commissioners on Feb. 24 approved a batch of event and liquor-license requests to clear the calendar for spring and summer community fundraisers, professional sports dates and temporary outdoor service.
In a single session the board approved a special-use permit for the Bill Dunn Junior Memorial Road Race, scheduled for Saturday, June 27, and a special-use permit for the Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Run for ALS on Saturday, June 6. The Kennedy run’s representative, Lou Tosi, thanked the board and said the event supports ALS research at UMass Chan Medical Center in Worcester and the Angel Fund; he said sponsorships and donations are already ahead of last year’s totals.
The board also approved a one-day liquor license request from Quincy Friends of Scouting for a trivia-night fundraiser at Masons Hall, 20 Greenleaf St., on Saturday, March 7 (6:30–11 p.m.), and a one-day license for the Woodward School’s annual Irish Fest to benefit athletics on Sunday, March 8 (4–7 p.m.). Stephanie Perini Hagerty, the school’s board chair, described the event and its role supporting athletics.
The commission cleared a series of one-day liquor licenses for the New England Freejacks’ home games and potential playoff matches at Veterans Memorial Stadium, 850 Hancock St., with dates from March through June listed by applicant Griffin Kirkwood. Kirkwood said operations will resemble prior seasons, including stadium and VIP-suite service.
The board granted a temporary extension of premises at Bridal Rock Brewing, 534 Victory Road (Marina Bay Boardwalk), to allow service on the adjacent boardwalk Friday through Monday (Memorial Day weekend through Nov. 1), weather permitting. The applicant said the space is cordoned with rope and signage, that only beer, wine and hard seltzer produced on site will be sold, and that the business will continue coordinating with the health and fire departments and the clerk’s office. The applicant described outdoor programming such as movie nights and family music events and said outdoor music is typically acoustic and wraps up by about 9–9:30 p.m.
All motions were made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board accepted the Feb. 10 minutes and adjourned. The next hearing is set for Tuesday, March 10.
The approvals allow organizers to proceed with permitting and operational planning; applicants were reminded to coordinate with Quincy Police and city staff on traffic, deliveries and noise controls as needed.
