Fond du Lac council approves temporary alcohol waivers for Thelma events on Sheboygan Street
Summary
The council unanimously approved two resolutions allowing alcohol possession and expanded premises for Thelma at 51 Sheboygan Street: a Thursday concert series June 4–Aug 27, 2026, and weekend pop‑up events May–Sept 2026, with staff-approved special-event applications and a no-glass restriction.
The Fond du Lac City Council unanimously approved two resolutions on April 8 allowing temporary possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages at events for Thelma, a business at 51 Sheboygan Street.
City Clerk Miss Hefter told the council the Almos Adolph Center for the Arts and Thelma requested a waiver to permit alcohol for a free Thursday night concert series from June 4 through Aug. 27, 2026, on Sheboygan Street between Portland Street and Mars Street, and a separate waiver to allow Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday pop-up events from May through September 2026 using the same footprint. Miss Hefter said staff approved special-event applications with conditions, including a prohibition on glass containers and carry-ins.
On Resolution 9231 (Thursday concert series), "We have a motion by mister Godfrey and a second by mister Heisler," President Brault said; the council voted and the measure passed unanimously. Thelma's weekend pop-up request, Resolution 9232, was introduced and, after Miss Hefter described the footprint and permitting requirements, "We have a motion by mister Heisler and a second by mister Godfrey," and that resolution also passed unanimously.
Both resolutions require Thelma to complete new special-event applications and obtain staff approval; Miss Hefter said staff will review each application and enforce the no-glass-container rule.
