Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day and enjoyed celebrating America's 250th! I also hope you're staying cool and hydrated during this summer heat.

Looking for something fun to do? Here are just a few of the free and family-friendly events happening around Dorchester this month. There's tons to do, from live music and community fitness to beach gatherings, cultural events, and neighborhood celebrations.

Have a safe, fun, and enjoyable July, and be sure to support our local businesses and community events whenever you can!
