Community Events and Celebrations

We are a group of people who love our small rural community and are committed to helping it thrive.

Moving Forward hosts and partners on a variety of events and activities that bring people together to celebrate our beautiful community, have fun, learn together, and talk about important issues. Come to one of our monthly teaching kitchens, join us for the Sandpiper Festival, start the New Year at Dorchester’s famous Polar Dip, drop-in to a community breakfast, or participate in community dialogues on tourism, climate change, pets, local politics, and more!

Looking to get involved? Every year we rely on our volunteers to help organize and run exciting events such as our annual Paddle on the Pond or activities during the Shiretown Festival! Reach out to us to learn more about upcoming events you can be a part of!
