Grand Cayman, 21 June 2023 – Persons with liquor licences on Grand Cayman, including those with music and dancing licences, that expire on 30 September are reminded to submit their renewal applications to the Department of Commerce and Investment (DCI) by 4pm on 7 August.
Applications will be heard at the Grand Cayman Liquor Licensing Board's annual meeting on 1 September. Renewals can be submitted online or in person, along with the relevant fees, at DCI's counter on the first floor of the Government Administration Building between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
