In the heart of Revere City Hall, the License Commission convened on March 19, 2025, to discuss a series of community events aimed at fostering local engagement and support. The atmosphere was one of collaboration and enthusiasm as commissioners reviewed applications for various licenses, each tied to events that promise to enrich the community.

The meeting kicked off with the approval of a license for the Boston Wounded Vet Motorcycle Run, scheduled for May 18, 2025, at Fredericks Park. This event, which honors veterans, received unanimous support from the commission, reflecting a shared commitment to recognizing the sacrifices of those who served.

Next on the agenda was the Beautify Revere Spring Cleanup Day, set for April 26, 2025, at McMacken Memorial Park.

The event aims to rally community members around the cause of beautification, with an expected attendance of around 200. The commissioners expressed their approval, highlighting the importance of community service and engagement.

Following this, the Revere Public Library sought a one-day malt wine license for a "Books and Brews" networking event on April 10, 2025.
