Community members are invited to join Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, the City Council, and School Committee at the 2025 City Hall Community Meetings. These meetings are held every fall in each of Somerville’s seven wards to share the latest City and neighborhood updates – and more – with community members. Not only do these hyperlocal gatherings offer an overview of the latest City news and projects right in your area, you can learn more about City programs and initiatives, meet your neighbors, and get the latest neighborhood crime stats. They’re also a great way to find ways to get involved and talk directly with elected officials and City staff.  

The in-person meetings kick off with a social half-hour with free pizza and healthy kid-friendly snacks, where you can chat one-on-one with elected officials including the Mayor, your Ward and At-Large City Councilors, and School Committee members, as well as staff about issues important to you.  

Mayor Ballantyne and City staff then share brief updates on projects in your neighborhood, citywide initiatives, and a look at neighborhood crime stats followed by an open Q&A, and more time to chat afterward. 

All Ward meetings are held in-person and one all-virtual, all-ward meeting will be held on Zoom and will be accessible online or by any phone. All meetings are promoted in seven languages and free interpretation services are available by advance request (see below). All meetings are recorded for later on-demand or TV viewing.
