Lowell License Commission - June 25, 2026

The Lowell License Commission held a meeting on June 25, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and approving various special event permits and alcohol-related licenses. The commission approved multiple applications for amplified outdoor public entertainment permits for festivals and religious events, as well as one-day licenses for alcohol sales at community events. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public hearings on transferring and issuing all-alcoholic beverage restaurant licenses, including discussions on operational plans, safety, and community impact.
