The Week Ahead: Public Meetings & Events Happening in Melrose

It’s a Good Week for...

• Shopping Local for Your L.O.: This week is the last opportunity for Melrosians to shop at the outdoor holiday Pop-Up. Located temporarily in the Melrose Family YMCA courtyard, the Pop-Up is an expansion of the City’s successful Project: Pop-Up program.
  • This week, you can shop for your little ones (L.O.) with Mama-owned and operated Grace & Bo, a curated boutique for best-dressed babies and kids, will be popping up in the courtyard from December 19 through December 23. This is the last holiday pop-up for 2023!
• Breweries, Businesses, and Economic Benefits: Over the past seven months, Mayor Brodeur's administration has taken several steps to establish a local process to allow for the operation of breweries within Melrose City limits. With a reputation as a destination business, breweries draw new visitors from a wide geographical area, benefiting other local businesses and generating new tax revenue for a community. The final phase of this process coming to fruition today, Monday, December 18, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. when the Melrose Liquor Licensing Commission will reconvene for a second time to review and adopt Liquor Licensing regulations for the local issuance of Farmer Series Pouring Permits.
