Quincy residents can look forward to a vibrant season of events following the Quincy Board of License Commissioners' meeting on February 25, 2025. The board approved several key requests that promise to enhance community engagement and local festivities.

The New England Free Jacks received approval for a series of one-day liquor licenses for their home games at Veterans Memorial Stadium, including potential playoff matches and special events. The games are scheduled for various dates from March through June, with the possibility of playoff matches in mid-June. This decision is expected to boost attendance and create a lively atmosphere during the rugby season.

In addition, the board granted a special use permit for the Bill Dunn Junior Memorial Road Race, set for June 28. This annual event not only promotes physical fitness but also supports scholarships in memory of Bill Dunn, fostering community spirit and educational opportunities for local youth.

Another highlight was the approval of a special use permit for the Clifford Marshall and Point Webster PTOs' annual Family Fun Run and Wellness Expo on May 31. This event will feature activities for families and promote health and wellness in the community, continuing a tradition that has seen significant participation in previous years.

Lastly, Bridal Rock Brewing was granted a one-day liquor license for the White Pine Market at Boston Harbor Studios on March 1. This market is anticipated to attract visitors and support local businesses, further enriching Quincy’s cultural landscape.

These approvals reflect the board's commitment to supporting community events that enhance local engagement and foster a sense of togetherness among residents. As these events approach, they are expected to bring excitement and opportunities for connection within the Quincy community.
