Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages - Wine Festival Licenses PG 316-26

HB 558 removes an annual limit on wine festival licenses in Prince George’s County, allowing the Board of License Commissioners to issue multiple licenses each year instead of just one. It directly affects organizers of wine festivals who hold existing retail, Class 3 winery, or Class 4 winery licenses. Key provisions include requiring festivals to avoid conflicts with other county wine events (like Carroll or Howard County festivals), promote Maryland wine, and operate only during designated weekend hours. The bill also clarifies that wine sold at these festivals must be sourced from Maryland-licensed distributors and delivered directly to the event site.
