Brighton Main Street-Volunteer Mingle
2023-02-16 17:00 - 18:30 | Broken Records, 85 Guest Street, Brighton, Massachusetts, 02135
Brighton Main Streets is made up of volunteers who help to make Brighton a great place to live, work, shop and learn. Whether you’re a longtime friend, new to Brighton, or just new to Main Streets, volunteering is a great way to get to know your neighbors and establish a community.
Volunteers who want to be involved in planning can join specific event committees. We always seek design, marketing/social media, project management, and business-related skills. We also have opportunities for single-day event support, such as setting up tents and staffing registration tables.
Volunteer opportunities for 2023 include:

Preparing for the National Main Streets Conference (coming to Boston in March!)
Supporting a new monthly “shop small” challenge
Helping with spring plantings and clean-up projects
Planning our annual signature event…and much more!

Brighton’s Community Egg Hunt
2023-04-08 09:00 - 11:00 | Brighton Common, 30 Chestnut Hill Avenue, Brighton, MA, 02135
Join us for the annual Community Egg Hunt, one of Brighton’s longest traditions in family events.
Every year, hundreds of children ages 2-10 gather in Brighton to welcome in Spring and gather eggs filled with happy treats and surprises. This tradition was started in 1983, 40 years ago, by Gerry McCarthy and family, through St. Elizabeth’s Hospital until it was taken over by Brighton Main Streets almost 20 years ago. Brighton Main Streets continues this family friendly event this year with support from City on a Hill Church Brighton.
This FREE Egg Hunt is open to the public with fun activities planned for kids of all ages. Stay tuned for more details. The day is never complete without a visit from the Easter Bunny himself. But don’t be late, as the egg hunt starts promptly at 10am.
