Special Event Licensing

What is a Special Occasion Licence?

A Special Occasion Licence (SOL) permits you to serve, sell and consume alcohol at your special event, celebration or community festival. Licences are regulated by the Liquor Control & Licensing Branch, Ministry of Housing & Social Development, and issued by the Liquor Distribution Branch. When you apply for a SOL, you agree to be responsible for the safety and sobriety of your guests. A complete copy of the laws that govern this licence can be found at the Liquor Control and Licensing website at http://www.hsd.gov.bc.ca/lclb/apply/special/index.htm.

Special Occasion Licences may be applied for at any BC Liquor Store. For more information about the Special Occasion Licence, download the brochure below. Information about the Special Occasion Licence is also available on the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch website.
