The town's 250th Independence Day celebration is on the horizon, and residents have a packed week of library programming, mosquito control service dates, and a significant joint government meeting to look forward to.
TOWN HALL
Tewksbury is marking a milestone Fourth of July this year, with the town's official 250th Independence Day celebration and festivities in the works. Details are posted on the town website for residents planning to participate.
The town also reminded residents that dog licensing for 2026 is still ongoing — owners who have not yet renewed should do so to stay in compliance.
Central Mass Mosquito Control is scheduled to continue its response to resident concerns through July, with service dates in Tewksbury set for July 1, 7, 13, 16, 22, and 28. The town notes those dates are subject to change based on weather conditions.

The two bodies meeting together signals a matter of shared governance significance, though a specific agenda was not published in the available sources.
