Caroline County's Board of License Commissioners made significant strides in enhancing community events during their meeting on May 28, 2025. The board approved a temporary license for Atkins Arboretum, allowing four upcoming events, including the Forest Music event in June and a beer garden on September 27, which will have a rain date set for the following day. This decision is expected to boost local engagement and provide residents with more recreational opportunities.

The board confirmed that all attendees at these events will be carded to ensure compliance with age restrictions, and wristbands will be utilized for identification purposes. This proactive approach aims to maintain a safe and responsible environment at the events.

In addition to the temporary license approval, the board discussed the extension of premises for Caroline's in Denton. This extension will allow for expanded service areas, further supporting local businesses and enhancing customer experiences.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to ensuring that all necessary permits and tips cards are processed efficiently, reflecting the board's dedication to supporting community initiatives. As these events approach, residents can look forward to a vibrant summer and fall filled with engaging activities.
