It would depend on who actually has the license and how they applied. If there are several vendors, then the festival probably has the license and answered the question correctly - is more than 50% of their income from alcohol sales? The reason I say this is that TABC will only give one license per location. If the individual vendors have licenses, then they each listed a specific location instead of just the general festival. And for beer, you can get a license that allows people to leave with it, not for mixed drinks though.
