DOWNTOWN SOMERVILLE
Your gateway to Somerset’s best events, local businesses, and authentic downtown experience.
What's happening downtown
Winter brings our community together in Downtown Somerville. January and February are filled with cozy moments, local traditions, and opportunities to support the small businesses that make our downtown special.
A favorite winter tradition, the Chocolate Walk invites you to stroll downtown, sample chocolate at participating businesses, and rediscover local shops and restaurants along the way. It’s a simple, sweet way to shop local and enjoy time with neighbors, friends, and family.
