Donating Blood Makes an Impact - and Arlington can make a difference this weekend! The Vitalant Blood Drive Bus will be at the Arlington Crossing Market on Saturday.
Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood; these are people in hospitals, surgical centers, and ERs. So consider donating. It's a small way to give back, with such big impacts.
Happy Independence Day! We wish you a safe, joyful Fourth!
(Town facilities are closed today in honor of the holiday, including Town Hall, the library and senior center. Trash service will also be delayed one day)
Town facilities are CLOSED tomorrow in observation of the Independence Day holiday.
☝️ Reminder - it's also a trash services holiday, so Thursday pick up will be shifted forward one day.
Saturday morning is the next Arlington Crossing Market (7/06). Hope to see you there!
We'll have many of your favorite vendors returning! AND the Vitalant Blood Drive will be on-site with t-shirts and $10 gift cards for blood donors.
The Town fireworks show was a hit last Friday! Thanks to all who participated. We know some of you plan to have your own celebration this 4th. Town ordinances allow private fireworks, but ONLY on the 4th of July. So...for harmony with your pets & neighbors, and because it's the law, hold off until then.
Also remember it's HOT & DRY this year, so keep water handy when lighting any firework & be sure they are fully extinguished when you're done. Let's all be safe and have a great Independence Day!
Hope to see you tonight Arlington for our annual community party and Independence Day celebration!

Lastly - parking is limited, so plan ahead and walk, bike, or carpool if you can. Handicap parking will be available at the Sports Complex.
