The Revere License Commission meeting held on April 16, 2025, focused on two significant applications: a change of manager for the Holiday Inn Express and a one-day license for an upcoming event at Susan B. Anthony Field.

The meeting began with a straightforward approval process for the change of manager at the Holiday Inn Express. Cynthia Basic was appointed to replace Catherine Cucciarlo. The commission members expressed no opposition to the change, and a motion was made and seconded to approve the application, which was swiftly passed.

The second major topic was an application from the Revere Chamber of Commerce for a one-day license to serve malt and wine at a tournament scheduled for June 21, 2025. Event manager Alexandra Pomponio detailed plans for the second annual tournament, which is expected to attract between 50 to 100 attendees. The event will take place at Susan B. Anthony Field, with a rain date set for June 22.

Pomponio explained that the event would include a beer garden managed by Murray's Tavern, which successfully handled alcohol service at last year's tournament. The commission discussed the logistics of alcohol service, including ID checks and bracelet distribution to ensure responsible consumption. Alcohol will be served starting at 10:30 AM, coinciding with the event's start time.

Overall, the meeting concluded with both applications receiving approval, highlighting the commission's support for local events and management changes. The next steps will involve finalizing arrangements for the tournament and ensuring compliance with all regulations regarding alcohol service.
