🎉 Bethel Town Meeting & Voting Day 2025: What to Know

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right — the day we come together as a town to celebrate and meet neighbors, learn what's happening, discuss and vote on our town budget and important issues, choose selectboard and school board members… and of course eat lots and lots of pie.

White River Valley Middle School Lobby, 273 Pleasant Street, Bethel
9 AM: Pie, coffee, and community fair. Eat free pie (bring one if you can!) and catch up with neighbors. Drop by community group and town committee tables to find out what's going on, how to get involved, and discover local resources.
9:30 AM-9:45: Town Meeting Opening Ceremony, featuring live music by Dick McCormack and a local democracy cheerleading performance by the BYS Wildcat Cheerleaders.
