ENRICHING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE

Fostering civic pride and connection is an important component in the development of a community. By providing activities for our youth and families, we create memories for our children that are connected to Charlestown and increase the likelihood of them staying, or returning here to raise their own families. “Generations of Pride” is more than a slogan. It is the heart of our community.

Through partnerships with the Charlestown Parks and Recreation Department and other community groups, we provide activities like Movies in the Park, Street Dances on the Square and Back to School Bash. The Founder’s Day Celebration and Light Up Charlestown are the city’s crowning events, drawing crowds from many surrounding communities.

This wide attraction also has economic value. By increasing tourism to and awareness of Charlestown, the community’s activities draw new business and new citizens, ensuring our city remains a viable presence in the region.
