Updated: January 2026
As a local resident, mother of two, and a busy Milton real estate agent, I enjoy staying in Town and supporting local businesses and grassroots events, so I’ve compiled a list of UPDATED seasonal events in Milton for you and your family or friends. The response from our readers has been so good that one of the venues called our real estate team in Milton and asked us to update the blog because they kept receiving calls for a cancelled event!
Going forward, I’ll be updating the blog post to reflect more current events all year long. If you have feedback on the events you attend, I’d love for you to comment at the end of the blog and let us know how your experience went … pictures are always welcome, too!
Here’s my selection of events for the first quarter of 2026 in Milton:
