Brighton City Council will host their annual City Barbecue on July 20 from 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Carmichael Park (650 E. Southern Street).

At this community event, residents will have the opportunity to meet City Council members and learn about upcoming projects in their ward. City departments, local organizations and nonprofits will also be in attendance to provide information. This event will also mark Brighton’s 136th birthday.

As in previous years, there will be live music at the event as part of the City’s summer movie and concert series, Flix & Kicks. Kicking off the night will be The Corporation, a high energy party band, who will perform at 6 p.m. Free face painting will be available.

For the third year, youth who have completed the Young Entrepreneurship Program will be presenting their businesses and have their products available for purchase. Learn more about the program here. Meals will be free, while supplies last (first come, first served).

Residents are highly encouraged to bring picnic blankets, lawn chairs, sunscreen, bug repellent and drinking water.
