Downtown Hingham, with its picturesque streetscape and proximity to the harbor, is a dream location for the entrepreneurs who took the leap to start from scratch and build their businesses to serve this vibrant local community. Hingham’s downtown can be considered a small business incubator, of sorts.

The weather feels like mid-summer and we’ve all flung open our windows, doors, and arms, welcoming family and friends to long-awaited visits and gatherings. This time of year always feels celebratory in Hingham and the energy is even more festive than usual.  Our picturesque, active waterfront, charming Downtown and definition-of-Americana Fourth of July festivities offer so many options for entertaining or just enjoying an ideal summer day.

June is brimming with extra excitement this year for Hingham High School graduating seniors and their families. Graduation will be held on its scheduled day, June 5 -- with 4 guests per student -- and since the majority of seniors are vaccinated and state mandates have been lifted, they received very recent notice an actual prom will be held on June 8.
