This Week’s Event Calendar

The Barre Partnership Barre Merchant’s Social Thursday May 28, 6-7:30pm "This quarterly gathering is a great opportunity to connect with fellow Barre merchants, business owners, and community partners in a relaxed and casual setting. As we head into a busy summer season, we’ll also spend some time chatting about upcoming summer activities, events, and plans for the 2026 Barre Heritage Festival.
Enjoy charcuterie snacks, a cash bar, and an evening of networking, collaboration, and conversation about everything happening in downtown Barre this summer."
Odd Hours* Friday May 29, Open Until 10pm Typically when we post about odd hours, it’s because we plan to close a bit earlier than usual. This week, we’re in the opposite situation because of a small gathering scheduled in the conference room until 10pm Friday.
We don’t have anything special planned (no official Friday Night Writes, Game Night, or Phone-Free Friday), but for members who would like to utilize the space a little longer to kick off the weekend, we’ll be here.
Brunch Saturday May 30, 10am-1pm Brunch is open to the public with discounts available for members. Quantities are limited, and service is casual (and usually slow). Bottomless self-serve coffee, tea and water are included with the price of brunch dishes, and other beverages are available for purchase from the bar.
Our not-yet-finalized menu includes:
- Apricot Ginger Waffles (Veg, GF)
- Earl Gray and Vanilla Baked French Toast (Veg)
- Ham and Cheese Croissant with Tomato Rosemary Soup
- Roasted Beet and Brie Quiche (Veg, GF)
- Grits (Veg, GF)
This will be our last brunch for a while. We’ll see how scheduling for future Saturday events goes in the weeks ahead, but we’re currently booked through July 4.
