Welcome the Year of the Horse at Somerville’s third annual Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, February 14, at Somerville High School (81 Highland Ave.) from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The festival will highlight our Chinese, Vietnamese, East Asian, and Southeast Asian communities and offer family-friendly storytelling, cultural performances, food, facepainting, and more.  

At this time, the National Weather Service has issued a Cold Advisory beginning Thursday evening, January 29, overnight into Friday morning, January 30. Very cold wind chills as low as -15 are possible. The expected wind chills can cause cold-related illness such as frostbite and hypothermia if precautions are not taken. While the Cold Advisory is not currently in place past Friday morning, it will remain bitterly cold over the coming days, especially during the nighttime and early morning hours. 

The City of Somerville is seeking two new members to join the Somerville Condominium Review Board (CRB). Vacancies consist of one full member and one alternate member.
