Town to kick off summer with carnival inspired event

Be Well Northborough will be hosting a summer kick off party at Ellswoth McAfee Park on Wednesday, June 22, 1-4 p.m. (Rain date is Thursday, June 23.)

Northborough residents, families, and employees are invited to attend this fun and free event to celebrate the start of summer and learn about the services our town has to offer. Enjoy free popcorn, bounce houses, yard games and more as you connect and socialize with your neighbors. No registration is required for this event.

The Be Well Northborough Working Group was formed with the goal of collaborating across town departments to offer new programming and raise awareness of existing resources available that will help the community recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and address issues such as social isolation, mental health, substance use, and overall wellness.

The Be Well Northborough Working Group includes department heads from Police, Fire, Recreation, Family and Youth Services, Northborough Senior Center/Council on Aging, Health, Library, and Schools, as well as Assistant Town Administrator and Diversity and Inclusion Committee staff liaison Becca Meekins.

On March 14, $100,000 in funding for the Be Well Northborough initiative was approved at the Board of Selectmen meeting.
