The Mayor and Council of the City of Glennville at a called meeting on Thursday, August 22, 2024, approved an amendment to Chapter 4 relating to the sale of alcoholic beverages in the City. They approved the permitting and sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the downtown area, contingent upon Council approval and appropriate permitting.  Approved events are limited to a maximum duration of 48 hours. Vendors participating under these conditions are required to obtain a Special Event Permit (Class IV Alcohol License) from the state, which is valid for up to 72 hours.
