Milton has a 15th birthday coming up. The city will be celebrating their 15th anniversary as a city 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at City Hall, 2006 Heritage Walk.

The event is designed to honor those involved in making Milton a city, including each citizen who has been “central to every decision and every step in Milton’s history.”

Attendees will enjoy appetizers and drinks (the latter compliments of the Milton Business Council).

The event will also feature remarks from citizens who have helped shape the city, including Mayor Joe Lockwood.

Space is limited for this free event. Register to attend by emailing rsvp@cityofmiltonga.us.
