There’s nothing quite like summertime at Stonebridge Retirement Community. Fresh off a luau-themed June (thank you to everyone who made it unforgettable!), we’re rolling straight into a July packed with barbecues, music, museum trips, and icy-cool treats. Whether you’re a resident, family member, or someone exploring senior living options, here’s your front-row seat to everything happening this month.

🎇 Red-White-and-Blue Kickoff

Thursday, July 3 – 4th of July BBQ | 11 AM
We’ll fire up the grill for burgers, brats, and all the fixin’s. Pull up a patio chair, toast the sunshine, and mingle with neighbors and family before the big day.

Friday, July 4 – Happy Hour & Live Music | 2 PM
Wave those flags and tap your toes! Celebrate America’s birthday with ice-cold mocktails and crowd-pleasing classics performed by a local band.
