NEW MILFORD — A Taste of New Milford will be the first event held on the Village Green in New Milford where beer and wine are allowed to be offered.
Just one month after the Parks & Recreation Commission added the Village Green to the list of town park where alcohol could be consumed on special occasions with a permit, Jeff Kilberg, A Taste of New Milford organizer, has received approval to offer these beverages at the annual event.
Kilberg still has to receive approval by the Chief of Police and Mayor Pat Murphy as required by the town’s alcohol ordinance. And a police officer must be on duty during the event, as the organizers’ expense.
A Taste of New Milford is set for Sept. 10 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the south and middle green. Area vineyards and microbreweries will participate.
