Events
Welcome to the main events page! Right now you are staring head on at the events blog.
This page is updated many many times a day by our fantastic webmasters who are connected to the thousands of smaller communities that make up our Dorchester. When something is going on in Dorchester, from potlucks, art openings, or community gatherings, this is the place to find it.
We aren’t perfect though, so if you know of something coming up that you think we’ve missed, shoot us an email at eBlast@mydorchester.org

And if you think you missed an event or just want to see what’s happened in the past, scroll over the events tab to Past Featured Events. While not every event that ever happened is listed, this highlights some of the bigger community gatherings that have happened recently in our Dorchester.
