On February 26, 2025, the Quincy Board of License Commissioners convened to discuss several community events requiring special use permits and licenses, highlighting the city's commitment to fostering local engagement and activities.

One of the key discussions centered around the annual Family Fun Day organized by Clifford Marshall and Point Webster PTOs. Scheduled for May 31 from 9 AM to noon, this event promises a variety of family-friendly activities, including a fun run, face painting, music, dancing, and sports drills. School committee member Courtney Perrios presented the event, emphasizing its significance as a community gathering that encourages family participation and physical activity. The fun run will start at Point Webster and conclude at Clifford Marshall, where the main festivities will take place.

In addition to the Family Fun Day, the board approved a special use permit for Break Rock Brewing, allowing them to serve alcohol at the White Pine Market event at Boston Harbor Studios on March 1 from noon to 6 PM. This event is expected to feature various vendors, further enhancing the local market scene and providing residents with more opportunities for social interaction.

Another notable event discussed was the Best Buddies International bike challenge, which will pass through Quincy on May 31 between 7 AM and 8 AM. This annual event, which starts at the JFK Library and ends in Hyannis Port, aims to raise awareness and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The presence of this event in Quincy not only showcases the city’s involvement in broader charitable initiatives but also promotes community spirit and inclusivity.

The board's unanimous approval of these permits reflects a proactive approach to community engagement, ensuring that Quincy remains a vibrant hub for local events and activities. As these events approach, they are expected to draw significant participation from residents, fostering a sense of community and connection among attendees.
