2026 July 4th Liquor Sales Opportunity

The Town is seeking a non-profit able to secure a liquor license, purchase and store alcoholic beverages, and have sufficient volunteers and point of sale systems for a beverage sales tent during the July 4th concert on Frisco Main Street from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.

Thing to Know about July 4th Liquor Sales

  • The Town can assist with providing the contact to set up an account with Mountain Beverage for wholesale liquor purchases, but the non-profit will need to purchase and store the alcoholic beverages before and after the event.
  • The Town can provide expertise about potential supply needs based on sales in past years.
  • The non-profit will need to apply for and pay for their own special events liquor license a minimum of 30 days prior to the event, so by June 4, 2026.
  • The non-profit will need to provide their own cash box and point of sale system.
  • If a non-profit wishes to partner with local breweries on July 4th, then the Town can provide contact information for local breweries.  

2026 Changes- Concerts in the Park Opportunities

Concerts in the Park is held weekly on Thursdays from June 25, 2026 to August 27, 2026 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm at the Frisco Historic Park gazebo.

New this year- Concerts in the Park will no longer be paid opportunities, and instead, these non-profit partnerships will provide meaningful brand promotion and increased community visibility opportunities for selected non-profits. This will be a great chance to connect directly with attendees, share the nonprofit’s mission, and increase awareness of the important work that selected non-profit do in the community.

  • Non-profits will be invited to concert dates that match both their mission and the weekly theme. For example, a non-profit that has initiatives around environment and sustainability would be invited to the Concert in the Park when non-profits that focus on the environment and sustainability are being highlighted.
  • Non-profits are still able to ask for donations.
  • Concert in the Park attendees include a lot of familiar local faces, as well as visitors interested in our vibrant community.

Why the Change to the Concerts in the Park Nonprofit Partnership?

This change is being made due to current liquor license requirements, which constrain the storage and sale of liquor in such a way that it creates logistical challenges and financial risks for non-profits during this 10 concert series and which the Town has determined are not in the best interests of non-profits. For the past few years, the Town has paid a flat fee to non-profits for their participation, even though they were not responsible for liquor sales, in order to make this transition to outreach opportunities gradual.

Athletic Event Opportunities

  • Non-profit volunteers will assist with registration, packet pickup, or staffing course aid stations during athletic events.
  • The Town of Frisco will pay participating non-profits $1,000 for eight to ten volunteers working a minimum of three hours each.
