🧹🌿 TODAY'S THE DAY! 🌿🧹

Together, we can make our downtown cleaner, greener, and better!

The Downtown Block Party Series has proudly called Public Square home for the past 9 years, bringing thousands of residents and visitors together to celebrate everything that makes our community special. That's why we're encouraging everyone to join us this afternoon for Downtown Clean Up Day and help care for the spaces that bring us together all summer long.

Whether you're a business owner, resident, volunteer, family member, or simply someone who loves our city, your efforts today help create a downtown we can all be proud of. Clean public spaces strengthen community connections, support local businesses, and showcase the pride we have in Watertown.

A special thank you to Watertown DBA , First Class Home Inspection and Watertown Savings Bank who continue to invest their time and resources into making downtown a welcoming place for everyone.
