As Somerville embarks on the next legislative term, Mayor-Elect Jake Wilson, the Somerville City Council, and the Somerville School Committee invite the community to attend the 2026 Inaugural events. 

Please join us for the Mayor’s Inaugural Address, remarks by the Council President and School Committee Chair, music, spoken word, and civic pride followed by a reception to celebrate our community and the launch of the new term.

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne is announcing that the City is now accepting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from arts and creative enterprises interested in leasing space at the City-owned Armory at 191 Highland Ave.

This marks the next major step following the release of the Armory Master Plan, which outlines the community’s vision for a vibrant, public arts center for years to come.
