  EA Summer Street Festival

  Permit Amendment

  6/1/26

The permit for the EA Summer Street Festival submitted by the Greater East Aurora
Chamber of Commerce was approved in April 2026.

We respectfully submit an amendment to the approved permit to allow for alcohol tastings
on the street during the festival on 7/25/26.

We've had several members ask if they could do tastings during the event if they had all
required state permits. This amendment would be for tastings only. However, if they have
correct state permits, they will be allowed to sell their bottled or canned product at the
festival. We would make it very clear to them that nothing can be sold for consumption on
the street during the event (ie. a glass of wine or pint of beer/mead).

Chamber Executive Director Victoria Sturman has discussed this with both Mayor Luke
Wochensky and Chief Patrick Welch, who have given their support of the amendment.

The Chamber would limit the number of tasting vendors to three. Businesses interested in
possibly holding tastings include:

  •  Ethyl's Wine Store
  •  Bee Spit Meadery
  •  42 North Brewing Company
