The Special Events Team met with event organizers to review the Alcohol Special Event Permit application and wet zone request on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. The Kentucky Derby Pub Crawl is being organized by the Rotary Club of West Pasco Sunset. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Event activities include a walking pub crawl to local downtown businesses concluding at Infusion Brewing Company and the alleyway located behind the Brewery. The alleyway will have tables, chairs, 10x10 tents, small stage for entertainment, and a variety of derby themed activities. This event is the biggest annual fundraiser for the Rotary Club of West Pasco Sunset which helps support local non-profits and scholarships. The event was previously held at Gill Dawg in Port Richey. 

A wet zone would allow participants to drink alcohol in the alleyway. The wet zone would span only in the alleyway noted on the site map. The wet zone hours would be 11:00am to 7:00pm. The Gloria Swanson Public Parking Lot would not be impacted or included in the wet zone. There will be no alcohol sales in the alleyway and signage would be placed along event barricades stating, "no alcohol beyond this point".  Barricades will be placed to prevent vehicles from entering the event area. Police will be present in the alleyway to help ensure this event is safe for all attendees. It is important to note that the wet zone request does not include the various downtown business's participating in the Pub Crawl portion of the event because event participants will be inside those business during the event. 

The SET members had no objections to the event and the wet zone request based on the safety measures being implemented.
