The Uxbridge 300th committee is inviting the community to come together in celebration as its kicks off a year long lead-up to the town’s tricentennial with a grand bonfire on Friday, June 27, the date of the town’s 299th birthday.

The celebration will take place from 4-10 p.m. at the Uxbridge Soccer fields off Sutton Street. It is being held in partnership with the Uxbridge Youth Soccer League, highlighting the strong spirit of collaboration and community pride that defines the town.

Committee members say the family-friendly evening will feature live music, food trucks and a variety of activities geared towards all ages. The evening will culminate in a bonfire, a nod to Uxbridge’s rich history and anticipation of the 300th anniversary in 2027.

“This is a special moment for Uxbridge,” said Amanda Gallerani, chair of the Uxbridge 300th Committee. “We are so excited to celebrate alongside our families, friends and neighbors. This event is just the beginning of a year filled with opportunities to come together, reflect on our history and build lasting memories as a community.”
