Beautiful. Diverse. Community.

Jan 01, 2023

Happy New Year, Hamden neighbors! This community events newsletter was born the week before the July 4th holiday — just 6 months ago. More than 500 community events and local cultural opportunities have been chronicled here in the newsletter in those 6 months. The following represents a curated sample of Hamden highlights from that timeframe. It’s a review of ‘22 — photo essay style for quick, easy, fun scrolling. Cheers!
