The Democratic Town Committees of Bristol, Warren, and Barrington are coming together to host a laid-back, community-focused event to welcome the summer season on Sunday, June 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Guild, 99 Water St., Warren. This will be an evening of camaraderie, conversation, and connection — no speeches, no fundraising, no pressure. The only ask of people is to bring non-perishable food items to be collected and donated to the East Bay Food Pantry.

This isn’t a rally or a campaign event. It’s a chance for like-minded East Bay neighbors to gather in good company over craft beer, great local food, and meaningful conversation. Expect to see familiar faces and meet new ones, including local and state elected leaders, in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

“We’re excited to strengthen our partnerships across the East Bay,” said Erich Haslehurst, Chair of the Bristol Democrats. “This is about coming together as a community and enjoying each other’s company, with no agenda other than building relationships and sharing ideas.”

Everyone is welcome — Democrats, progressives, and anyone interested in connecting with like-minded folks in a casual setting. Whether you're new to the area or a lifelong local, it's a perfect opportunity to meet some new East Bay residents and kick off the season in style.
