Kick-off Summer with Brighton Main Streets!
Summer is here, businesses are opening and we want to see all of our neighbors out on the Main Street District! With things looking up, we’re hosting our Brighton Main Streets’ 2021 Annual Meeting on June 23rd outdoors and along the district! As people are getting vaccinated and masks are coming off, we wanted to host an exciting event for Brighton residents to get outside and kick-off summer! Join in on the party and support our local businesses!
It was a trying year for everyone, and just like many of you, we are proud to say that Brighton Main Streets met each challenge this year full on as our work and impact grew as we responded to supporting local businesses and making Brighton a destination. We hope you will join us for our 2021 Annual Meeting and raise a glass with us and learn more about our impact, and hear from community leaders, businesses and residents!
Help us honor Brighton Main Streets’:

2021 Volunteer of the Year, Sarah Ribeiro

And to help make the event even more special, Brato Brewhouse + Kitchen will be brewing a Main Streets beer (more details to come!). So strap on some sandals, wear your best summer outfit, and join us on June 23rd to celebrate Brighton Main Streets and the start of summer!
