Help Bridgewater Shine!


The Town Common will be glowing this winter! 

The community is coming together to light the Common with our annual “Winter Wonderful” lighting display! The lights will shine November through January for the community to enjoy during those long winter nights. 

To accomplish that, we are looking to businesses and residents to join in fundraising to make a spectacular display. Please consider helping this cause by making a tax-deductible contribution. No donation is too small! Fundraising will continue throughout the year to ensure the longevity and expansion of the holiday lighting spectacular year after year. 

Donations can be made through check or online. Please make checks payable to Bridgewater Improvement Assoc., PO Box 292, Bridgewater MA 02324, memo: Winter Lights.
