Pride Worcester granted one-day liquor and entertainment permits, subject to police detail
Summary
The Worcester License Commission approved Pride Worcester’s one-day liquor and entertainment licenses for Sept. 12, conditioned on securing Worcester Police Department detail and required permits; event organizers said licensed vendors will check IDs and the footprint will be limited to Church Street.
The Worcester License Commission approved a one-day liquor license and entertainment permit for Pride Worcester’s event on Sept. 12, with the condition that organizers arrange a Worcester Police Department detail.
Festival director Ariana Delestritto told the commission the event will use a footprint in downtown Worcester and that “alcohol will only be served on the actual street, by vendors that have all their own licenses with the city. They are responsible for checking IDs.” Commissioners and staff pressed organizers to coordinate road closures and detail assignments; the commission’s approval was explicitly conditioned on the applicant obtaining police detail and coordinating with the DPW and the detail office. Chair Anthony Vigliati reminded applicants that ABCC uploads and finalization take time and that successful applicants must secure any necessary building, fire and code permits before opening.
