Barbecuing for a Better Hamilton presents an opportunity to cookout and connect with neighbors, community members, and leaders from across the city, including the City Manager, City Staff, City Council members, Hamilton PD, and many more. Join us as we cook up good food and great ideas to make our community a better, safer place.

This program series will travel throughout the city, often in conjunction with already planned gatherings, neighborhood events, or other meetings.
